man that thing sounds awesome. like a crotch rocket or something.

what kind of shifter does that thing have? I thought it was the paddles like an f1 car but he keeps reaching down. I'm guess it's a sequential shift or something for him to be shifting that fast. that would explain the led on the dash. I thought sequential shifts were for drag though?

edit: did a little research. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/sequential-gearbox2.htm

very interesting. once i saw a eclipse in a mag that had been converted to sequential. that seems pretty difficult but sounds pretty cool idea.

La Voiture <--- click me

Click "La Voiture" at the bottom right for specs on the car. Break out your French to English Dictionary.

In a nutshell... 605 Kgs, 3 litre 400hp BMW engine, Six speed transmission... you figure it out.
