    Yes, and if you want to talk shit, I know for a fact tC is more of a pussy car than my N/A Cooper.

    So how about you bring your Toyota wannabe to Rome and we'll make a run through the mountainous area.




    Or anyone else for real though we have some nice roads around here.
    Got a MINI? Don't talk to me.

    FUCK your FADS

    But what happens when you get your ass handed to you at the track, and in the mountains, and still have to drive a mini at the end of the day?
    Back to being stock and slow

    Can yours break the speed limit too? I haven't run across a quick n/a tC yet. I'm starting to believe that it's an oxymoron

    To the OP, the way your car sounds remind me of a gen1 Neon with intake and exhaust, which I thought sounded pretty good when you have the right exhaust.

    BTW, a short shifter won't make the car any faster or chirp 3rd gear. Chirping 3rd gear in a vehicle with not alot of tq usually means A. your tires are worn or B. your alignment is out. I'm just saying.....

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Chrysler and BMW built my engine . And how would it not? Quicker shift means a less drop in RPMs, less drop is higher RPMs, Higher RPMs are where the powers at. Makes sense

    Well yes, a faster shift will keep you in the sweet spot better, but it's not going to improve the times exponentially. A few tent's perhaps. Im sure it feels better than the boat oar throws of the stocker.
