I'm not sure I'd call him a troll, I mean I don't know the exact definition, but I usually see trolls as people who pretend to own the car and then talk **** about it on whatever forum that car belongs to... sounds like this guy is being straight up and could use a little rotary 101....just sayin'

To put this in perspective, C6 vette is 6.2L and turns in 12.49 at 114.9 mph.

So, you've got a vehicle with 1/5th the displacement of a stock C6 corvette, moving the mass of stock corvette, at about the same ET as a stock corvette.

Pretty impressive that the 1.3L can hang with a 6.2L, extra noise is part of the penalty.

While I'm not sure that I would agree that they are the same weight (hard to tell in the video, but the car is completely stripped), this isn't too bad of a comparison. Extra noise is a huge penalty though... seems like there has to be some way to make it more civilized while not giving up too many ponies.
