WOW! Good thing it is an amazing car in stock form!

I wonder how it sounds with that exhaust?

The Mine's dampers are Sach's, so I'm not all that surprised.

What a waste of $$$. Unless you spend a good amount of time retuning the suspension with the Mines, you'd probably make the car slower around the track. The stock ones are fine!

Mines is ****ing stupid overall.. Only stupid good functionality, the Mines name, and the extra premium for God knows what. Maybe it'll grow legs and give you a great BJ

I'm more interested in what the cost of upgrading the clutch in this car is going to be... unless its the same spec clutch as the 4500lb 1000HP Veyron ;) which is doubtful.

heh...

Good point...

Especially since it looks increasing possible to add some power to this car. The dual clutch transmissin for the GT-R was made by Borg-Wagner. The same people the did the Veyron transmission. Maybe some parts sharing went on between the two?

Hopefully we can get something like a Tilton carbon/carbon done for it. The Tilton is expensive, but very light , and has good life, easy engagement.

I just want to get the car, first...lol. But, I use to have an old Tilton twin plate setup in my FC. The plates were SUPER Thin and did not last long at all. This was in the '90's, so hopefully they're improved. I personally like OS Giken clutches.

The Tilton carbon/carbon is the clutch to get. If you had a Tilton in your FD it would have been metallic plates.

I have run a ton of different clutches , and it all depends on the budget and how you use the car.

Push/Pull , plates, and materials used.
