You can never have enough braking power. If you let me drive your car I'd kill the V6's in 5 mintes LOL.

Spend the extra and get the 4 pots. Take a bit longer than 5 minutes to kill

LOL - you're always ready with a good visual quote mate.

That would be one example yes - albeit a grotty unwashed one.

6m 47seconds LOL

To be fair for Redline I did 6 0-100-0's in a row, and they didn't even start to deteriate. And that included half laps round brunters to get back, which I didn't drive slow on either lol
