That was the first drive of the car. A wise man would not be doing a burnout first time out, especially in a car like that.

 

Did you notice the ambulance was following him all the way through the driving part of the video? He left it behind a couple of times when he accelerated but it was always there.

 

What surprised me was the car didn't appear to rock when he would blip the throttle. I thought sure it would all but flip over on its side with that much torque in that light of a car.

Funny that he wears a helmet but there's nothing but a cheap seat, sealt belt & flimsy sheet metal around him... Colin Chapman would be proud

That makes Franklin7 look weak......just joshing.....wounder how fast it will go and how far on the fuel it can cary in that tank.....I think that engine burn about 8 gph when in an airplane at cruse at altitude and about 16 gph on the ground during takeoff.

Shame that anything over a flight idle throttle setting is probably suicidal...

imagine the sound if he could run down the road with decent revs :-)
