well, i have to say , day to day mine is fine. but i may be the exception to thr rule. if you keep it below 3000 rpms, and dont provoke the throttle , its all good. however, poke the pedal hard , get to 3000 rpm, and wave goodbye to your arse. craigs been in mine , so im sure he can testify to its effectiveness. it also gathers speed at a alarming rate. its the one not to choose if you drive like a numpty, as it will attract attention.
