Power Cut :S

Post by Road_Rebel »

Hello there,

When I was down on a airstrip the other day having a blast down the straight, my car cut out when i was in 5th gear and very high revs.

I let off the throttle thinking i had blown my engine but put my foot back down and it was as if nothing happened!

Does anybody elses 2 on here do this?
