Default BMI battles at 10000 rpm

This is an older video but still very good. The intro is just silly, it gets good around 3:45 and the S2000 sounds amazing! Enjoy!

Cool video although I wonder how many of them actually rev to 10k. I'm guessing just the RE Amemiya RX7 since they said most of them weren't allowed to mod the motor.

It is nice to see manual transmissions and 3 pedal cars going fast, Top Gear would have you believe that paddle shift was for proper sports cars and that a clutch pedal and a gear shift was for a tractors.

Cool video. The S2000 could have done better if he didnt get stuck behind the NSX for so long. I dont think any of the cars hit 10,000rpm's. Maybe the rx-7. I feel bad the for the driver of the mr2. He had no chance from the start.

Apparently you don't watch that much Top Gear. Jeremy is always smack talking the "flappy paddle gear box".
