I think we need to save the manuals from dying but with a small displacement turbo motor take all the help you can get

for me, nope. If there is no clutch. I don't want it. I don't care how fast it is. It is not fun and I don't feel connected, unless there is a clutch. Then and only then, do you have a true driver.

Fair enough and im with you its just not the same if your not rowing your own but in straight line racing like this i can appreciate its usefulness

I don't enjoy the straight line racing. But yes it is the best for that.. I still think they should use manuals, so it isn't as easy as reaction time and foot to floor. More variables with real clutches!

Apparently he ran Jamie and won a dig (which he should) and Jamie took him from 3rd. Not sure how much though. He's always trifecta 25psi nls lol

I really like Golf R's. I still remember the first one I saw SHOCKED people. Big douche looking guy had one at dyno day kept saying it had 450+hp.... This was a year ago or two and not many had even seen a golf R don't up yet, his had like 6000 miles on it, don't remember if dsg or 6 speed but it had one of the first APR stage 3 kits.
09
Car barely sounded modified at all, lays down 430whp on a murderous mustang dyno where 93 oct LNFs make 270-300hp max. (320whp 09 LNF on DJ made 284 on this dyno) Quiet exhaust, didn't sound impressive and everyone was HOLY $H!t!
