I did not rip this clip from the movie because its already out there. Lots of rotary stuff in those movies. Good films.
*edit*
Yes it is a repost. When it was posted before someone said that the commentator was Richard Hammond. It is NOT Richard Hammond, its some australian dude that you see all throughout the movies.

As great as the 20B is, I find it a bit ridiculous. You can be an *** load of power out of a 12A, and therefore what is the point of putting a 20B in anything unless you just want to be different?
And also, who really needs an obscene amount of horsepower? There comes to a certain point where there is too much for the car, more specifically like around corners where the slightest tap of gas in a 250 horsepower car can power you right around with no problems, but 300 can make you slide out of control.
That in itself goes back into the entire weight problem as well. You have more weight in the front, that will force more understeer. It is all unnecessary.
That goes without saying that I absolutely love seeing 20B swaps and what have you, but cost for cost, you could build a faster 12A powered FB than a 20B powered car, say you were limited to 5000 dollars. Or even 10,000 dollars.
Obviously there would be a point when the 12A would reach its peak, but honestly, who needs to have 720 wheel horse in a first gen? Who needs 350? Its all overkill.
Eh, that is just my two cents anyway. I'm not trying to start a fued. I love 20B powered cars. I love 12A's and 13B's. I love it all.
