    i dont think thats fwd anymore,

    think about it, if u did so much work to get that power and speed, wouldnt you make sure that you can deliver it to the ground?

    i reckon an .:R drivetrain or something

    he's a bloody good driver. There is no way known i can pull out of a corner without lighting an inside front tyre. Mabey i need an LSD.

    I'm pretty sure its still FWD only, having had a quick re-scan of the article.
    Doesn't say it, but sure doesn't say it isn;'t either.
    I think that he relies on massive downforce, good tyres and LSD...
    Tricky 6 speed box and massive Porsche 370mm brakes help too...
    ... and he's a good driver

    I've seen some videos of that Carpi Mk3 before and it is crazy. I'd love to see something like that over on U.S. soil....

    Mind you ... he was getting massive wheelspin coming out of the corners ... almost sounded like a slipping clutch.

    Blows the doors off anything on the track though ... nice.
