Also lag is a little different on a race track then on the street. On the street, you are transitioning from engine speeds that simply don't create enough exhaust gas to spool the turbo, to all of a sudden full boost pressure, its like an on/off switch rather than a smooth torque curve. On a...

Odd, one of the most coveted cars ferrari ever produced is a laggy twin turbo v8.

I think that is true for drag racing but not traditional racing. The as soon as your tires break traction. They have no idea what direction they are supposed to go. It's sort of tough to explain without visualization. In drag racing this does not matter as your are going in one direction. In...

this is really good to know actually. Without sounding like a wimp, getting hurt in one of these things was a concern of mine. I've driven so many factory traction control systems which engage far too late and are not smooth at all.

I think everybody likes a lot of instant torque until they drive something with under 5 lbs per hp.

You can just change the ratio the differential and achieve the same result Edit: I realized it right after I hit send

Yeah, but actually having a good power band is no replacement for a computerized traction control system. We also know that throttle control is far easier said than done, and increasing the chances of human error almost always decreases lap times. Hence why most people posts better lap times in...

So I've been researching the slc for years. I have to build it myself and I just don't have the time and it's killing me. So I just randomly popped on the board today and saw the new transaxle that is available, which is amazing btw. So I was just randomly zoning out while watching TV and...
