Aawwwww *SNAP*!

Previous owner obviously produced so much torques that the car became undriveable due to wheel-spinning everywhere.

I reckon it will cause the car to pull like a train, eh tbro? How fast to trains accelerate again.....?

TGV 574.8 km/h, no eBay extractors as it is electric.

Rocket sled (no extractors) 10,000 + km/h and it does run on rails so it could be called a train...

Well speaking as a train driver (freight) not very...... :|

Let's see;
Start moving ~ 20 seconds
0-60 kph ~ 3-5 minutes
0-100 kph.... Well..... Maybe.... If you have a light train..... and some downhill..... :mrgreen:

Stopping?
Don't ask..... :shock:

Well they didn't last long on the car. Probably undrivable on the street at low speeds. Surprizing since Da Planes chinese counterparts fixed the flow issues in decreased pipe diameters.
