So is it safe to say that the digital speedo can be set to read either mph or kmph?

Does this car have VTEC or something? o_o... In the vid, it just launches after 4500rpm in first. (at 0:43 - 0:48)

Might be the guy not hammering the gas until then......

I would also say it might be the injection method change but i dont think the transition would be that abrupt nor the power change would be that drastic.

It may just be the position of the microphone, but that turn signal indicator is loud.
