Went out in Ryan K's last night, massive wave of torque when the car finally hooked up in the slimey conditions, ESP was going nuts though so it'll be interesting without

You just get a load of wheelspin, need to be careful or you end up on the wrong side of the road! :S And I bet mines not running anywhere near 260hp!!! I think you'll be lucky to get near that with a T28.
