these little 1.9 petrols are rather quick for there displacement and the gearboxes are a great combo the only cars i have trouble shaking off are remapped 330d's, 335d's etc big torque i can even stay level with my friends evo 10 300 he has no chance once license loosing speeds are achived, the gearboxes used are amazing! with my new FPR fitted the car is like a rocket with the DSA turned off it just gets silly spin after spin
