I've clocked a 3.8 with half the power so me think's your right, he has some traction issues...........

[Esprit]

traction with a turbo would be pretty awful... especially one like that where it'd be a pretty "peaky" engine to say the least

[GravelBen]

that would be rather, umm, invigorating to drive!

Try the vid of a drag run......I sure those front wheels come off the ground at the launch....
