Paying attention to the track prep, watching my r's on the burnouts etc, etc... Never did that in the old days... Driving sticks for me, was drop the hammer and yank away, just as quick and hard as I could. I really liked to bang shift the sticks. I really don't think the linkage would take my punishment on the limited's... I am sure for autocross and spirited driving, they would be fine...
Yes very good points Doc, I really want to see what comes of this. I now first hand the Kleeman cars can be pushed, and Bobs V8, just about another 100hp over the stock v6, (and a few years worth of miles) and no issues
But, numbers are numbers, I just wonder how much M.B. cushions their ratings.
