    Production quality is excellent! However I have one tiny suggestion, take atleast half a minute in every video and mute the background music and let the cars do a rev and acceleration so we can hear the lovely engine and intake sounds of the vehicles reviewed! Us car enthusiasts love it.

      In fact, get rid of the music all together. Too many TH-cam videos are ruined by background music.

    I drive a Quantum daily for work, and I love it! This however seems to be a monster of a Quantum, and I love the way it looks. I pushed my stock Velocity to it's limits of 200km/h, but I never reached more than 140 with the Quantum, so I'm wondering how this would feel 🙈 well done on this one though, it's inspiring 😋

    So much time, effort and parts went into it.
    Just two corrections:
    - there was no 2.5l petrol Quantum, so I assume you meant either 2.7 petrol or 2.5 D4D.
    - the engine code is 1GZ-FE, not a 1ZU.
    That aside...what a bonkers toy!
