They have a cool launch feature built into the traction control. Dump it at 3200 RPM and the computer takes care of the rest for you.
Don't be fooled, there is almost that much of a gap in the wheel wells when sitting still.

That still looks pretty mean. Blue on white looks pretty good on those cars, regardless of liking the shape/weight of the car or not.
Too bad they can't do that on stock tires.

Thats a good launch,but you could do the same with a S197 GT with slicks,gears,springs,and dumping the clutch at 6k.I don't think the car is ugly,it looks almost the same as a S197 V6,which where my problem lies.If I'm gonna pay 45k[or more]for a car,it's gonna look like a $45k car,not a $20k car.
