@speedydragon5 ай бұрын
Agreed, 3 grown men and heat soak. 330bhp/280whp (15% drivetrain loss) probably means it's running a small turbo like a k04 or gt25. Unless it's 330whp, which would be closer to 380bhp. The way it climbs from 80-130mph shows that it's pretty quick, even with all the extra weight.

its not completely off, its in sport mode. Then it allows a bit more compared to fully enabled, but still kicks in when things get more wild.
