But, where would we find petrol in the US? I thought we only sold or used gas here...

I see it comes with LSD, but it doesn't specify how much or the street value...

It's got the same size tires I use on the street with stock power. Good luck to anyone that tries to drive it!

Actually Tim, you're in luck. I happen to sell an additive that converts gas to petrol right in your tank. It comes in individual bottles, just $19.95 each. You just add one bottle each time you fill your tank.

It's well worth it as petrol has a much higher octane rating than gas and it will increase your rear wheel output by about 8 HP.

You can save some money by buying a case of 144 bottles for $2865.00, and I'll throw in a free jug of blinker fluid. How many would you like?

Looks like fun!

That's a heck of a lot of car for $40K.

The car's got a twin turbo motor from a 996 so I think an aftermarket ECU is to be expected. The placement is odd but not particularly noteworthy as far as I know.
