Default 400 brake Type R

Today I had the pleasure of sitting in the passenger seat of a 400 bhp Type R fitted with a 2.5, MD321, 6 speed, fmic, etc.

Wow! how the thing accelerated. Absolutely fantastic and it just revved and revved I didn't have the ***** to look at the speedo though, not with the bends I knew were over the brow.
The clutch felt rock hard and the gearchanges were frantic.

Great experience.......just a shame I had to get back in my car afterwards. The 330 bhp felt nothing compared to the Type R.

I've got a near 400 BHP Bugeye (Methanol LOL) but nothing compares to a trip round a track in a Skoda Octavia with someone who knows how to drive
