    Any reason why you decided to sell one SC and buy another, Rob?

    Not sure about more fun, I'm just starting to learn the car, it's got a heap more top end than the S/C but you don't get that instant thump in the back either.

    I haven't got my launch technique set at all as can see from the vid. But it gets away pretty damn nicely, it's not the wheel spinning monster you might imagine.

    It is great to have such a reserve of power, It may well push close to 250km/h at Phillip Island or Sandown. Looking forward to getting it on the track next year.
