Killed a Cooper.

did you break the speed limit?

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.....

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.
