M13KYF Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 sounds louder than other videos I've seen. I wonder if this one had the Nismo on or they improved the sound of the exhaust from earlier pre production models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 i think they look like standard tail pipes so im guessing that will be the standard noise... i just cant get my head around the rev match thing... does that mean whilst down changing or up changing you can just lift the clutch as quick as you can as the car will just auto blip? good idea but i think its something to break imho...also alot of "good drivers" are going to have to unlearn heel and toe with this car which is a cause for concern... -ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that worries me is that it doesnt replace heel toe. The point of heel toe, is to match the engine revs to the drive train, but also keep maintainence throttle on so that you are ready to modulate it. With this, it will blip the throttle for you, but then you will still have to swap your foot from the brake to the throttle at some point, at which point you might unbalance the car by having a little engine braking and then increase in throttle as you try to put it back on again. I think this could unsettle the car exactly when you dont want it to. I'll keep my own heel toe thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organ throttle pedal will also help the heel and toe option (takes me back to Beetle days ) but quite nice to have the electronic option when just cruising and you can still enjoy the 'blip' on the downshifts and even when you chose to miss out a cog or two ...nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Its growing on me too, anyone else think the wheels would be a nice fit oin the 350? i know they are 19's but what size are they, would they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The red colour is the only colour doing it for me. The rims are nice, very similar to the ones on my G. I only like the ones with the boot spoiler though. Its crying out for spacers, CAI x 2 and an aftermarket zorst though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
