There's nothing "only" about 76k miles on one of those motors.

I'm surprised it made it THIS long. The NA motors in the FC3S could go 200K if properly cared for. Turbo rotaries on the other hand barely and rarely live 1/3 that, especially in FD3S livery.

Um, "interesting" use of the word livery although I will suppress my English major tendencies and say nothing more on the subject.

he was driving me around last night and WOW!! When the car reaches 4500 RPMs, the 2nd turbo spools and the car just PULLS and PULLS! Sounds awesome too, all you here is the turbo spooling. And because its an R1, it handles like whoa.
