You mean the "speed record car" that was humiliated in a drag race in top gear? (or was it broken maybe? Can't remember

)

Their speed record car is geared for 250+ mph, it makes sense that it wasn't very quick off the line. I wouldn't call that "humiliated" as it was never meant to drag race.

SpeedLimit? has a reputation beyond repute

People buy a car thats already too challenging for them to reach its limits safely then they attempt to raise those limits? The stock exhaust/overall car set up can't be beat IMHO.
