I haven't raced one when my car was stock. However, this is not the first video I saw were a R8 would pull away from the start even in rolling runs, only for the M3 to catch and pass at a higher speed.

I knew this was coming :roflol:

Full decatted exhaust system, stage 2 software and intake. I won't let out any power figures, lets just say it can happily stay in front of a V10 M5 with out any problem :rollsmile:

No race cats here mate. Resonators are in place of them, complete free flow for max power. The exhaust is custom designed here in SA by my tuner Xcede Performance.

Up North there are strict emmision and noise pollution laws,so the CATS remain.

Thought as much, this side our gover... just wants our money, so you initially pay a CO2 emission tax on a new vehicle then do what ever you fancy.

Thou I got a feeling that they might implement similar laws to what your guys have, as the current system used is adopted from the EU.
