Now, THAT is INSANE!! 1000Nm of torque! Holy crap!

Such a sleeper too.

[murph_fan51]

Man that is awesome! I bet heaps of people look when it drives past...

1000Nm, thats double the factory spec!!

[Maloo355]

very nice indeed.

[sk8ie_boi]

How fast would it go from 0 - 100km/h ?? .. hmmz I'm guessing almost around 4 second ish?? .. lol shiet man

[vypower]

trouble would be getting more than the treads moving i'd say.

with decent slicks, and suspension 4secs is definitely possible.

what i'd like to see is the 80km to 140km response, and then i'd like to see ANY rice burner keep up with it!!!!! hehe
