So precise that it can play music. Sound clip, and yes, it's real, not a spliced dogs singing jingle bells.

Here is a video clip also.

All done by programming a map on the ECU.

Yeah, pretty amazing. Where's that video of the dyno test where they were simulating a track and you can see the fuel mist being sprayed right into the cylinders? That was one crazy vid.

Heard the 2006 Toyota F1 car

at Laguna Seca. Toyota sponsors the event, and took the car out for some speed laps to get the track speed record. Did it too at over 120 average MPH! Whole track in about 1 min 6 sec... Really impressive. Started breaking what seemed to be just yards from the apex, ripping down through 4 gears, and taking off soo early it seemed truly unphysical. Must have been a gas to have the whole track to oneself, with fresh tires just out from their little warm heaters....

What a gas.
