It is fun, and very addictive.

I have been getting around a bit in the car over the last few days, and the thing that really stands out is how easy the car is to drive at part throttle. I don't know if this is true of all 400+rwkw blown Modulars, or possibly because this car's throttle is cable control and not ETC, but keeping the car "in traction" is very easy to do with the right foot....... A lot easier than say, a 360rwkw/750rwnm F6 engine. To the point now where I can drive it hard in every gear and just modulate the pedal in first and (sometimes) second, while third feels exactly as second does with the extra traction. Once you get it into third and fourth, the R888's are still blacktracking but putting basically everything down.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have definatley done this years ago. The F6's were fun and cheaper to do.......

But this is a whole new ball game.
