00:00 There's no launch control, there's no traction control, there's no ABS.
00:03 So this is sort of old school meets new school.
00:06 We've got the modern ISF engine and driveline and chassis, but it's left to our own devices
00:23 how we get the performance out of it.
00:26 So the launch was a little bit of wheel spin, but it was good, but too much is too much.
00:30 Hitting through the launch, we get up to 60 in about 4.3 seconds.
00:35 I haven't crunched it yet, but that's what I'm guessing.
00:37 And the quarter mile was at 12.99 at 1.11, uncorrected, which I'm expecting will come down to 12.6.
00:43 Mile per hour will probably go down a little bit, like 1.10, something like that.
00:53 It was a hell of a ride. Sounds great, but it's really disorienting to look at that car and hear that sound.
00:59 It's like, "Whoa, what the hell?"
