    8sp vs 6sp

    I blew a pimped my ride early D4 3.0lt in everything black in a traffic light GP in the middle of Perth today.It seems 1st on the 8 speed is much lower than 1st on the 6 speed,didnt even need to resort to sand mode(did select sport)
    I had the open lane so even if the darkside drew even they would have needed to back off or take the footpath or shoot me before running into a bus at a bus stop,it was full of young non awestralians!!!
    Absolutely nailed the 6 speed

    Having had both the 6 speed and 8 speed in the RRS TDV8/SDV8 I think the six speed was a touch quicker of the first second or so but the 8 speed really gets going after about 3 seconds and the power just keeps coming.

    Until you boot it and someone runs the red and you're T-boned

    Seen it so many times - either impact or High potential...

    I never leave the line quick any more unless there is absolutely zero vehicles on the intersecting road. Come way to close on too many occasions.
