I've worked it out. All you need to do is keep off the throttle for a few seconds after changing gear then plant it, got that old feeling back

MY01 Wagon. Getting better every day.

 

Jza, the difference between an old and new on a road will be fairly small... Remember we're talking comparitively small differences here, though people do like to talk 'em up. I was following an STI with a LINK ECU at the weekend, and he wasn't pulling away too much until 80mph+.

All these cars are "quite nippy" really.

5 door next time. Maybe. Still, that's quite a way away yet.

I agree completely with you Chiark. And the driver makes the most difference in my humble opinion!!
