[Darkstar]

No, I don’t have a pic w/ a penny and 4 of Darkstar’s pubes to prove it. So go ahead and hit the ‘back’ button now if you wanna call :bs:

Anyway, the first thing to say is the sound coming from over your shoulder at WOT snipping through the gears w/ the paddle shifters is PURE SEX. End of Story.

It’s balanced, stops great (has upgraded brake pads, he boiled the fluid w/ the factory pads at Thunderhill), and actually gives you a lot of confidence/comfort considering the amount of $ you’re throwing around.

Straight line it feels slower than my car, braking and handling it’s hard to say since I only pushed it to about 70-80% in the twisties (it was just a street drive, no track) but I’d say it is very similar to my car on the street tires. But the F1 shifting is just magical. I did consider myself a manual transmission purist. Hell, even my DD and beaters are all stick. But for a track car, I’d go w/ a F1 trans if given the option.

wow are times really that tough? I mean I know you could find the pubes in your teeth, so you’re that broke you dont even have a PENNY? damn…
