stripping car out
Hurdy:
Big up for Benny :happy2:
I wouldn't bother too much about the start Benny - Diesels aren't well known for ripping up the tarmac on launch. You need to concern yourself more with getting the weight down and nailing the gearchanges at the optimal revs for a diesel. Hanging on to the redline in a VW diesel isn't worth it. Change up just after 4k revs should give you the best times on the qtr. I've had 4 diesels and have tried all the different lauches. 2,500revs at launch is best I've found. :smiley:
Traction control off too if you have the option. :smiley:
