I don't trust butt dyno's I own a completely stock MK6 GTI that feels faster than my 06 wrx and 370z.

The follow up I'm not posting is much, much worse. I suppose I could post it if people want, but I'm afraid I'll get a warning on the board. I am a horrible person.

Awesome videos! Great driving @robispec, this kit looks FUN at the track! Just constant pull. Would love to drive in one of these.

And that whine! That sounds better than any turbo I've heard for sure

Just goes to show... how good a driver Pobst is, 3 seconds off a super charged FRS. What that means is we all should learn to drive like Pobst then get supercharger. Or, lets loan him the supercharged version so we can compare on an even plane. How many seconds could he realistically take off that time. 10 seconds ? What was this drivers times before the super charger? same tires or more grippy? I am all into an SC. Not telling wife either....lol

I have been good...ZERO tickets in FRS.
Cops are out big time for this coming holiday thou, so all be careful. Do not give them a reason to start watching the frs.

Unfortunately, driver mods are expensive. A crap driver can knock several seconds off their laptime with $4000 in power mods. Doing the same with driver mods can take race schools and track days. Yes, a track day may only cost $150 or so at a great track. However, there's also $150 in gas to get there, drive, and go home. 50 for a cheap hotel. Then you're looking at another $500 or so in wear and maintenance. Figure 850 for the whole experience. 5 track days will not make me faster than supercharger.

Then there's a big question about which is more fun... 5 track days or a supercharger every day? ARGH!

Very interesting. I really want to pull my plugs and take a look at them. Perhaps this will be the motivation I need. What technique did you use to get them out?
