Default cossie standing start launch vid........

It's a Swedish car. Don't know any of the specifications on it but found this video of it as well.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qGCtNMkTPTM

Sounds and looks properly fast. The best sounding Cosworth on Youtube so far?

Vid says it's running an R&D Dogbox, hence the awesome sounding gear changes

Just saw this thread.

Its my car, from sweden as mentioned.
Gloves are dirtbike ones, theyre cheap and suede in palms= easy on the steering wheel...

About the rev gauge, what about it?
Nice to hear you like my car/starts (with lower boost than racesetup). Thanks alot.

Bit more info: http://www.garaget.org/?car=94116 In Swedish, but you'll get the idea.

Cheers.

About 400-450bhp on the street i think. Little more at race.
