I couldn't stop giggling everytime he floored the throttle. It's like on Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon goes into Hyperdrive![]()

I'm absolutely positive it would mince my car upto his top speed![]()

The funniest thing, is that despite it being 4wd, he now has to drive it like a 500bhp Sapphire 2wd, as in make sure it is pointing in a straight line before pressing the loud peddle![]()
It's an "OH - MY - GOD!" kind of car - so fast, it feels slow, as your brain can't recalibrate the sense of speed and acceleration quick enough - you're on the limiter in fifth and back down again to normal speeds in so few seconds, that it doesn't seem real

. The fact that it was dark made it even more surreal, as you had no reference points - just raw noise and acceleration with only fractions of a delay as the next gear is shot home (couldn't do THAT with a wanky MT75
) and then all too soon the shift lights are signalling the end of play at 157mph
.
Revs, accelerates and sounds like a big sports bike![]()
