Andrew, Ahh.. was wondering what that little doppler thingo was. Hehe. All makes sense now. Was thinking thats a biiig roll backwards and forwards. I'd be interested to see what you can get with some $$ and development.
Did I hear something about a US 510 pulling 1.5G lateral (with 13B rotary) in a performance car review a while back? Up against Ferraris & Porches etc etc? Anyone confirm this? Most likely with slicks i guess?
