We need incar ;)

Find your nearest highway, pull off to the side, then wait for a clear run in traffic and floor it to 100!

He got a tip. Can do it by himself.

Filmed mine with a hand holding the camera and another hand on steering wheel.. all the way to 190.
Felt stable and safe at that speed without any worry at all, even with just a single hand on steering wheel and mine is wing-less as well with core-sports edge boot lip.

Of course, this is done on track at straight course section. :lol:

of course.
It's called the Natural Selection track, more people need to use it, the lucky ones come out with a video, the bad ones don't. lol

Never hit rev limit myself, interesting to note.

:( Not trying to dog on you or anything phunky but that seems like a LONG time for you to hit limit from 100 - was track uphill or anything? surely that aint the best that thing can do lol :evil:

It starts from 80 to the limit on flat surface.
Yea, i'm thinking the same thing as well. FTO should go faster than this.
But there isn't any other to compare to. Either mine sux, or could be the placebo effect from the adrenaline that everyone thinking theirs faster when doing a happy run :lol:

Mine is 4 speed tip though. I expect 5 speed to be more responsive due to gear ratio.
My 3rd gear from starts from 125 to limit is pain in the arse looking at the rpm. It's like a never-ending wait for another gear.

Only a 4 speed tip :( need to trade that sh*t in for a manual!
will have to get a bodgy phone video of mine getting up to speed and atleast then you will have a rough benchmark :lol:
Just got to find a suitable time and place in brisbane to do this "safely" *cough*

By the way valandis, I only heard the video properly on a proper sound system and it sounds similar to my exhaust system :lol:



I know the shifting was slow but for some reason at that time I didn't feel like a little screech :lol:

P.s. i was suffering from major understeer on the way back!

I'm not going to bother arguing how fast it is.

But its definitely way more responsive than a stock fto that I drove...
I'll try get a 0-100 somehow... somewhere, need more track time ;)
