I fitted the switch and that to mine and feel robbed. Not even used it yet but managed to pull out 2/3 car lengths on a car that was using it every time he changed gear lol. Of you can change gear well enough I do not see a benefit lol

Yeah it's the only time I've done it to be honest I don't think it's any quicker either but at the time it was a new toy so had to naturally lol.

Funnily enough my mate used to have a 2011 S3, him and I would regularly have it bit play. Against my mapped (280BHP) WRX, he never got more than a couple of car lengths in front.

Maybe I'm just a good driver though.

As for Astra VXR's, Focus ST's and the like, these things will keep up/be quicker on a straight dry road but are absolutely comical trying to put the power down from standstill in any kind of damp.
