it certainly was a sight and sound i wont forget quickly, the pace at which it went was crazy, i had heard the thing so i turned around, then it stopped at the traffic lights near me (was walking btw) and next thing I know he was gone in a shot, sounds better than rally cars, and possibly louder too. Has he got a new gearbox on, like the rally style? because he seemed to have an extremely quick gear change which i have only seen on race cars
