It will roast the tires pretty good even from a second gear rollon. Sorry about the transitions. Maybe I'm paranoid but I wanted to blur out the video whenever the license plate became legible so that is why I used the pixilate effect at two points during the video.

She is a blast to drive. Future plans involve replacement of some minor cosmetic stuff like cowl grille, armrest, seatbelts. Then installation of a TKO transmission to replace the stock T5. Then safety equipment for the track like driveshaft loop, harness, etc. Finally, will be putting a 200 shot of nitrous on. Should take about 5+ years.

I'm surprised the T-5 can put down that kind of power, I thought they were pretty junky? Sick car...

Not sure how long it will hold up. Did the easy 500 mile breakin period and now have about 50 miles of "spirited" driving on it.
