Bear with me, rally material seems to be a bit scarce on youtube. Remember, this is just a fun day and is just that.

So, why 1048BHP, unless you are competing in a boring sport like drag racing? Or if watching rolling road graphs is something that excites you?

Because no matter how much BHP you have, more is always better.

It's worse than cocaine.

All that horsepower needs super handling, perhaps an object lesson, the Koenigsegg:

How long will it take to break the drive train?

Have you seen the drivetrain? It's more than a little different to a standard one.

Hmmm, about 5 seconds I would think!

Actually, having had a look at the site, he appears to have done it properly! It's all been uprated, so it looks like it would go, stop and even do corners!

I wonder if Top Gear could put it round their track?! :-)
