Thanks Steeda for a insightful video.
I like the discussion, and will add a general observation.
The dyno is a way of measuring the HP at the rear wheels right? Simple I don't think anyone would argue that. There was a measured gain of 6HP.
Let's say that the recognized loss(not perfect but...
This has absolutely nothing to do with any change in the lineup. It has everything to do with Covid19 and the fact that there are not enough cars on the lots and basically they are adding a week of production to make up for all the time sitting idle or making ventilators. Almost every car...
Good conversation. One of the hardest exercises is the no brake one. Doing it in HPDE in the rain was pretty stressful if you are doing it at a pretty quick pace. Teaches you a ton about car control. I think so long as you are pointing people by there is not an issue, so long as you are not...
Hello Benny,
Been a while since I asked for anything but looks like you are still the man, thanks for all the great service.
Could I get a code please I need a couple small items?
Many thanks,
James
Nicely said. It is an art .... like Martial Arts vs kickboxing, color by numbers vs painting etc. DTC may be better than a regular automatic but if you listened to Pony wars, for instance, they were complaining the auto wouldn't be in the right gear for leaving a turn or perhaps the second...
See I am lucky in this regard because my wife is from Italy she won't drive an automatic. I "paid" extra for a 2010 Escape with a manual because it came from Vermont(+$700 delivery) when I traded it in with 100K+ miles we went with a Jeep Compas because Jeep is the only US/Italian car company...
It all depends on what your objective is and what you enjoy. I prefer in ice and snow a real manual, I think you can do more things with it than in a auto or your fancy DCT. If I was trying to set a lap record at Nurburgring give me the DCT. If I am trying to improve my driving around NJMP...
I wouldn't say never, but if I had the choice I would take a manual. I think I would buy a manual GT350R over the GT500.
That said, as was stated before if I was racing I would say take the DTC, HPDE manual because I am trying to be better always as a driver and shifting would be part of that...
I bought it from WRR during their Black Friday sales...best price hands down.

The link above gives all the details....when I decided to buy it earlier last year I waited until sales admittedly...
Thanks Bull Run...do you know which Borla muffler you would need to replace the stock setup? The resonator they make is only for the full cat back. I got the axle back from them so the rest is still stock.
