It could have been running just over standard power and compared to a Vti,it would still take off like that as soon as it came on boost.
Would have been a better video if it was something quicker than a Vti.

i hope a sleeper pisses your evo


You'd need a fucking SHITLOAD of power to beat a 375bhp (I think it was about that Nik?) Evo But most of all, I'd like to have the opportunity to buy the cars Nik does


My ''SEAT'' Aint far behind them
