Setting the scene....
A damp private track in backwoods of Yorkshire, the air rank with the odour of exhaust fumes and stretching out in front of you a thin sliver of gnarled black, damp, partly muddy, Tarmac curving gradually uphill into the distance. The gearstick snicked into manual mode and the ESP turned off, revs build and you are off..........the nearly worn tyres slip and grip, your head and eyes go funny with the G force and...........
Not bad to say it isn't even set-up fully yet the bum dyno said more power and the software calculates out at 447bhp. There's definitely more than spring pressure by the looks of it. 1/4 mile figures when I can after set-up.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")

Point and go lol! Does it ever get slightly boring. I mean its an awesome machine no doubt! Just like letting the car do the work, does it become a little tiresome?
Never tiresome. I guess I could say the same about all those manual gear changes and clutch dips, especially in traffic jams. 
DSG, PDK, or whatever the manufacturers want to call it is the future, like it or loathe it! Emissions, fuel consumption and the drive for the quickest 0-60 etc will ensure manual drivetrains will eventually go the way of the Dodo.

You could be right
Okay then, as some of you may know, Steve's Dyno at Statllers reads VERY conservatively and here are the results and a few bonus pics from the day....
3.3 to 60 on just about worn out tyres!!
Not a brilliant pic, but the torque curve is flat at 360lbft from 4000rpm to the cut off point.
Powwwerrrrr!!!
Flames...I haz flames!!

Cheers guys.
The sprint times should improve soon as I have just bought some Toyo R1R's for extra grip.

Offered the new toyos at a steal, so thought I'd give them a go.
Fair enough cant ask for more, you are running standard internals? unless ive missed the post.
