Default Clutch is broken in!! Quattro isnt invinsable afterall :)

Finally after 500mi the clutch is broken in and I finally turned up the boost I started at 22psi, and did some logs. Everything looked pretty good, then turned it up to 25psi in the rain, and wow...sooo much fun! I did some logs and found I was pulling dangerous amts of timing, so I lowered the boost back down, but not before my first quattro launch ever. Revved it to around 5500rpm, and let it out. Got about 45 degrees sideways had massive wheelspin, and over revved off the tach. I calmy drove home giggling like a little girl. I geuss quattro isn't invisible afterall Video coming soon, once I learn to launch this thing.

black991.8tq a friend of mine is the regional VW guru and he says that it takes about 300 horses to spin all 4 wheels on dry pavement. Obviously wet pavement will make it easier. Tom's car does have around 300 horses.
