Thanks guys at lease I no longer feel robbed.

Well here there seems to be no other rear end gear sets,  do you have any taller gears and perhaps a possi type to boot, for is I jump in a taller gear set, a possi to get both tires a grabbing would be so nice.

Agreed Kevin..

if there was a manual short ratio 6 instead of auto 4 the launch would be different even with that weight...But to transfer that power on road you need really wide and new tires..

My mv6 manual with a slipper is a lot better off the line than i was expecting. tc off, hold it at about 3-4000 revs,lift the clutch and floor it, slip it a little so all the weight shift over the back tyres first (1 sec st the most) and it flys virtually no wheelspin all the way through first! i don't do it very often though  ::) but it does go quick! lol

That shift from 1st to 2nd is long though! i reckon u could get the 0-60 a few tenth lower with that shorter. anyone know how?  :question

Just a thought but I just did the auto box fluid change on my 3ltr Elite and the take off has gone from nice to some what wicked I had a little play of the lights the other evening with a golf GTI and either I caught him napping or its a dam sight faster than it used to be to be honest sport mode and a large size 13 boot sent me into licence removal mode in a very short time as well as about 5 mpg on the display at which point sanity resumed and I behaved like the old fart I am but it was fun to see the look on his face  ;D
regards to all
