Good point. The front end looks proportionate now. The tech is amazing & gauges look so easy to read. They have some amazing tools too. Looked like some kind of killer torque wrench under the rear diffuser. Interesting how much they rely on the waste gates. |
Tom explained that briefly in the video, says the old setup on the M6 wasn't great on the race car but these from the S58 allow for the race car to take advantage of these fully on the track. These cars are still being evaluated regarding the BOP and Tom tells me that these cars are basically either no throttle of 100% throttle no happy medium and the older waste gates didnt like that. Also interviewed Bill Auberlen yesterday and he says this car responds like an NA setup where as the older car had some turbo lag on it regardless it was a bigger engine.
