Does look like it truly lights the wheels up in third at 70mph though, and the roads look totally dry.

I also think it looks like it reaches 6300rpm in fifth, what do you think?
Christan.... This special friend of yours.....

What was his final drive at time of filming, what turbo did he have.... and whats the light that comes on @ 7000rpm lol
