Courtney and I jig - sawed through the streets of moving feet together for the first 5.5 - 6 miles at a decent pace until I decided to give it a rip and give this race all I had!
You can accelerate at a decentpace without waking the twin - turbo V8 and hold a charge long enough to complete short journeys with little to no compromise to performance, up to, say 15 miles.
