	Performance figures were based on detailed information in The GTA Source Page car review [http://www.gtasourcepage.com/8920thTACDReview.html article]. The "Pursuit mode" is only triggered when using a manual transmission, leaving the automatic transmission for normal/real base model acceleration figures. To activate "Pursuit mode", it is necessary to keep accelerating in the same gear above the "normal" redline (5250 RPM), e.g. accelerating in 1st gear over 50 MPH in order to get high revving torque values. With its power rating up to 3000 HP at 11000 RPM (measured by CarEdit3), the top speed of 245 MPH is quickly achieved. The trade-off for this great acceleration is the resulting poor handling mainly caused by the car's weight.
