If the carbon fiber shaft breaks it explodes into dust and will not cause damage to the car or loss of control

Well apparently if you ran slower you could beat 5.0s and gt500s

I'm surprised this did not turn into a shitstorm........I guess the defeat was so bad it just shut the furd guys up.

Would it right to assume that hammer?

New 5.0 with just exhaust and a shifter, and Tyler's car is well-sorted with very important/beneficial mods. He's had plenty of practice with it too. I don't see why anybody would have a problem with it. Have you raced your brother (or whoever it was that got the A6 GT/CS) yet, Tyler?

Yeah, you'd put the hurt on him pretty bad but it would take the driver element out of question. Like it was mentioned on Haters, tell him next time he goes from a dig not to stall it up. I'd bet in good air that's a 12.8 @ 109-110mph car.

The one in this video? If that's the case, I'd wager the owner of this one needs a little more seat time. The autos are far more consistent, but a lighter manual (especially when any mods come into play) *should* be faster.

The kill was so definitive that there was no need for a shitstorm.

Sorry that you were disappointed.
