Must admit the acceleration does look insane (and so it should with 500bhp at the wheels ). The engine/turbo spins up pretty quick but it looks to be on the brakes early on the long straight before the hairpin and can only put the power down when it's in a straight line. I reckon a BEC could easily outbrake it and carry more speed through the corners. Only place where it'd have a chance to catch a BEC would be on the long straights.

Better suited to a drag strip with all that BHP and weight IMHO........

Not really, BEC's don't need to gingerly creep round the corners like the bloke in the vid

Have to admit it looks awesome in a straight line though

Beat me to it Phil
