Any video of performance testing?

Slap a pbox on the car. Or film the speedo with your iPhone. You only need one hand to drive an auto after all... :)

there are few videos but can't share for obvious reasons, did you want just a speedo?

feedback on plasma coils - cold starts are definitely improved (less noise, smooth idle), engine reacts faster when down shifting on high revs and makes slightly different noise during shifts, nothing noticeable on low end, the car seems a bit sharper after 4-5k revs ...

Any performance data on this car yet ? Did I miss it? Sure looks mean. I had one following me yesterday and the angry face is excellent.
