Did lotus rob us on horsepower?

Did another launch today, at 4000rpm, warmed up and ready for full blast. The weather was cool in the mid 20ies. I have cut the video exactly from 0-100 and the time is 6 seconds. I have titanium exhaust, air filter changed, short shifter and back on the stock ecu now however I have dynoed my car before so the numbers are correct… i have not an underperforming engine. I challange you guys to make a video where you hit 4.3 seconds on a manual!

Was that a lift off or a first change where the revs reach just under 5k? The gear indicator seemed to be lagging.
If it's a first change I bet there's a bit to gain there.
I really thought those kids were going to cycle into your path, scary!

Im on the main road and they are on the sidewalk/side road there is no way they can come on my way although there is a crosswalk there is no path on the other side but construction.. don't worry I am a responsible driver If you live here you know how the roads work..

It was fron standstil, kept the rev at approx 4k rpm and launched it, the car was slipping the tyres slightly hence you saw it was hesitant between 4-5k and once the grip was there started pulling.
