Doesn't seem anything special at first, but it gets a bit a faster.;) Check out the rev counter! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGY3qUJNZkI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGY3qUJNZkI&feature=related[/ame]

Spinning the wheels at 130 mph! that's what happens when all your power comes in one huge lump! was that 9000 rpm I saw? oil change every 1000 miles then. I'm all up for fast motors but this one is only any good for smoke, noise, nice dyno slips and killing yourself in spectacular fashion when your talent runs out, trying to control torque induced fishtailing at 150. Brilliant :D

The needle stopped at around the 270kph mark (nearly 170mph) and it still had another gear left! lol I think this may be an autronic v40 thats done 315kph. Not sure though.

With the Phase 1 T4 the speedo needle stops at about 165, the later ones just keep on going around lol.
