    As a passenger - bloody well.  Takes corners better than the mongrel due to lack of iron in the engine bay :D

    Excellent. How did the wider rev range affect it too?

    I don't feel lack of revs, especially on my car which hard limit cuts @ 5200, is a problem on track compared to a 1.8T

    I guess the torque helps as well

    This went very well at Bedford.

    I was impressed, faster than a lot of the other cars.

    Top work, it looked well balanced when following it.

    Cheers Richard. I must admit it did feel good, bit like i said i just need track time in it to get used to it. Also first petrol in manual i've owned. Every other car has been diesel or DSG

    Hoping to get a few bits done before my next track day. Need to sort the gearbox first though.
