Wrong, I've never met bam-bam, never emailed bam-bam, never phoned bam-bam, never sent bam-bam a PM, never contacted bam-bam in any way. In fact all we share is common sense, something you totally lack.

Wrong, your view on what makes a good improvement to a car is based solely on the single factor of 1/4 mile time. That's a narrow and blinkered view, the world has been subjected to many cars that are great in one area but utter rubbish in others, and that makes them utterly flawed as a "drivers car". A great car is about getting the balance between acceleration, braking, cornering, ride, comfort, etc. right.
sakimano wrote:You're just out to lunch on the usefullness of the quarter mile to measure a car's acceleration. That persists.
The only thing that persists is your blindness to the fact that 1.4 mile times only tell you one thing about a car, and as already said great cars are about balancing all factors.

You're not going to change your opinion (which is wrong), and I'm not going to change my opinion (which is right).

In case you haven't noticed dave, the 1/4 mile is a great test of how a car accelerates. That's what many of us wanted quarter mile data . That's all we wanted it for. Is this really that hard?


You're so narrow minded here, not me. I recognize that many things make the kit what it is...including the choice of blower, the tuning, the efficiency, the fab work, the driving feel etc.

I've only ever asked for one thing...timed acceleration data. That's it, because that's the one thing that can't be seen or can't be objectively shared by users. The proof as they say is in the pudding...and that was the final piece.

Your insistance that all I care about is the quarter mile shows you've got a problem with reading comprehension and the bigger picture.

Your insistence that quarter mile data IS the bigger picture is the problem here.

I got home from work to find more of the same, so had to reply.

I agree we're all getting bored of this now, and I can't be ar*ed any more to change an obviously entrenched opinion.

Outside of this kerfuffle and if anybody is interested ... the MRC boys have posted a vid on their FB page entitled "Our customers supercharged RS4. 11.71 seconds and 124.7mph" ...
