all the time your changing gear your not accelerating

It does make a huge difference my gtr is seamless shifts 0-100 mph in 4.9 seconds, but for me the Cossie is raw, no driver aid except abs and possibly launch control, it's about man and machine for me with a h pattern box just how it was 20 years ago when I bought my first one



That's me about 20 years old with my first ever Cossie a 350 hp saph 2wd on greens with a t34 0.63 I loved that car blew me away I'd never been in anything like it, wooped all the Scooby's I came across at the time which were all the rage hence my username
