Nice clip! Thanks for posting.

Great quality audio, too, which is sort of rare. Mind you, that engine deserves great quality audio. :)

Caparo are hoping to beat both records next year with their T1.

Their also making a big deal of the fact it CAN get over speed humps.

Ahh, Mr Larsen. Jake is a fantastic guy, that car made 222bhp! I gave him a hand mapping the Alpha N. That car was bloody quick and had phenominal handling. Its since been returned to standard and sold as jake is now back in the states.

Just spent an hour watch videos on youtube! The flames about that Nissian is unreal. A large number of Porcher fans claiming Nissian were telling lies or they were cheating to get the lap time. it amazes me how people get so uppety about things on the internet.

regarding this video the sound was really nice and how the camera was set gave it a really nice feeling of speed.
