Do you have a spool in your car? Trying to decide if I want one or not. One less thing to worry about breaking later on

I put a spool in it the last time it broke! You can feel it on the street driving with DR's but it is not that bad.

I love my spool as long as I'm not driving on a wet road or trying to push the car around while turning.

it runs hard, and feels great being a light high reving awd car. But i think i can take it in a z06, a z06 with tires or a zr1 for sure. It is a amazing machine feel wise though.

In race mode at a dead stop itll get 90degrees sideways 1st,2nd and into 3rd gear.
