          As soon as you pass the point in which you need to leave your hood open a bit as to keep your engine cooler, you have a powerful car.

                    when i read the title i was expecting a busted old eta trying to achieve 8sec 0-60.

                    I was pleasantly surprised. Well done sir.

                      I remember seeing this vid a while ago and loving the fact that it was an m20.
