Brilliant fun.... 4 up, 700bhp... Mad-as-a-box-of-frogs.....

listen from about 1:09, sounds almost as if its hesitating at a point on the rev range like mine dose.

anyone else think so? i wonder if its the same problem? (if i'm hearing it right)

That's the best part about the General Lee 80. There doesn't have to be a point. They have done it because they can.
The best thing about it (and as others have said), is that they are some very clever young men who have managed to get over 700 horses out of a 5 pot motor in the name of fun.
It's a superb advert for Martinsson racing, in the same way that some of the Dahlback cars are a good advert for them.
You can never tire from watching/listening to the General on full chat! Was my ring tone on my old phone till it got lynched!
