> Either way, you’d think it’d hook with all the gadgets that car has. Maybe he’s talking about with traction aids turned off. My car hooks full boost in 2nd gear, however I may be on a better tire.

Hey Travis. Yes, I mean with traction controls off. No doubt I’m faster on a track with the electronic aids on, but off the track, having some safe-street fun, the electronic aids are far too intrusive with my current setup and constantly cut engine power in lower gears.

Another thing to consider is that torque is what spins tires and my HP & TQ figures are essentially the same (peak TQ hitting around 3500rpm). Unlike most people I suspect, I’d happily trade low end TQ for more top end HP.

While our peak HP figures are similar, I suspect the delivery is very different in our two cars. This would really show 60-130, where I suspect you’d hand me my a$$.
