dunno really, if you want a superpowerful RWD only car, get something like a Viper or a Corvette

if you want a Lambo, get a Lambo...
the person who'll buy this lambo, probably already has all those other cars...

and even then, the corvette and viper are like ladas compared to the lambo


but what did they do with the suspension? it's like they've put it higher of the ground

You're right, it does sound like a big bike engine at idle & free-revving. Sounds fan-bloody-tastic when it's loaded up though.

The moment of the vid though is that blip on the downshift. My god, that almost caused a trouser accident images/smilies/blush.gif
