0-60 / 40-70 that sort of thing? Just curious. Mine seems fairly snapish with quite vigorous lurches in up shifts at F/T.

About 10 MPG then :lol:

I've noticed some variation, you get good ones and fair ones.  Occasionally you see bad ones.

No RRC ever beat 10 seconds to 60, not even the 4.2 LSE which was the fastest.

Yeah it can be a pain...but im 6ft 3 so its not too much of an issue! Pedal travel is horrendous..but with lead weighted shoes it gets to the floor quickly!

Thought about taking the LSE, just to see what it would do but the problem is all the nobs who want to race all the time, even when a trackday is not about that.
