Was this done on a dyno or on a road? Kinda hard to see with speedometer only view. Anyway very quick to 300. I've done 180 mph just once. Very planted til thought of tire blowing out backed off after that. Coulda eaked more- was still accelerating. Mike

Haha! Whenever I'm listening to engine sound on my iPad, my wife brings over earphones. That 4.0 sounds great.

Don't those Brits know enough to keep FOD out of the Cockpit in the MP4?

The 4.0 has a much better sound.
