Its a Honda, BMW and an Audi.... french?? Or am I missing something?

I think he was saying that a Clio would go bang doing that!

That's pretty mad. I'd have struggled to bring myself to keep it pinned through that bit of traffic, especially that close to that Beemer - someone pulls out on him and you wouldn't have time to see the brake lights...crunch. Loved the sound though, would've been interesting to see a GPS read out - that's showing just over 260kmp/h which is just a shade over 160mph. Doesn't the Type-R officially top out at 144? I mean that's not even close hehe!

What was the orange light on his dash? Emissions? Presumably from a decat or something?

Christ at speeds even approaching anything like that my old Mk1 Vee was a bit scary heh - front end was soooooo light... Sound was epic though with the K-tec and all 6cyl's roaring into the high revs.
