This thing is scary fast. Nearly 1000hp from a 2.0l engine and a turbo cranking out 49psi. Also, some dangerous irresponsible driving.

FP HTA GT3794R - a turbo with a recommended target of >40psi minimum. Wow that is a lot of turbo for the money.

i wonder what that rightmost gauge represents since it keeps flashing red to warn him of something... haha thats probably the "youre out of your fucking mind gauge"

The rightmost upper gauge looks like a boost gauge....I think it flashes red when in vacuum. The one below that gauge looks like an AFR displaying lambda....looks like he is running 11.0 - 11.7 AFR at full boost. (between 0.7 - 0.8 lambda)

Rather than flashing red I think it's just lighting up when in boost.

Looks like shifting takes some work....the driver is 'forcefully engaging' the next gear!

Actually, a cool looking car IMHO. But I'm a 'hot hatch' fan, so biased.

Yeah it is. Blows me away how fast it is and how old it is haha. Why can't subaru engines make this kind of power? Sucks that they didn't provide a quart mile time.
