Are they not able to tune them? Why would you pay that much for a car which is limited to the same top speed as a Turbo S Beetle?
Probably since most races for them are over by 155mph and there is no need to go faster.

I believe it was the 500 hp model. The exhaust on it may have been an upgrade, because it didn't sound refined at all. The note was loud and raspy.
I know this is an old post, but I had to add this in, I don't think it was a V-10 he was running, the fact that you said the back of the car had an emblem saying (M5 //// V-10) tells me that it was put there.

The only thing on the back of these cars is ( ///M5 ) JM2C.
