The V10 BA (or AV at the time) rumor made the now defunct "Car News" magazine.

The little electric fan in the intake that turned an otherwise stock AU I6 into a 13 - 14 sec 1/4 car.

FARRRRRRRRR too many. Anything with GTHO or involving new models etc always causes half of FPV to apparently come and post whats going to be launched (even though they were told in the utmost of secrecy and it shouldnt be repeated), anything BA vs T3 is always fun for the first 30 seconds then rapidly goes downhill - ahh, there's just too many to name!
