Woah! That is both cool and scary at the same time.

Was it damp?

mynameisplayer · 07-28-2017, 06:42 AM

No, and no bump....(and completely in a controlled off-road environment!). Was talking to apprentice yesterday about where 3rd and 4th got to vs his diesel ute...his was 3rd 40kph, 4th 80 kph...maybe. I guessed 120 and 150. WRONG says potus!

First time I took ours on the track I took it out in MDM mode. I was a little disappointed and thought it was a bit laggy. Then I realised that the DSC light was flashing at 160kmh on the straight and pulling power. Turned it off and it was like the car gained an extra 50kw on the straights!

The DSC is more active in this car than people realise.

Totally agree. You won't actually unleash the beast in the F8X cars until you turn DSC completely off!

I agree. Took my M4 to Wakefield for the first time recently and left all the e-nannies on (Engine: Sport, Suspension: Comfort, Steering: Sport). Coming out of Turn 2, the TC flight kept flashing until halfway up the hill. You definitely notice when the car decides to give you power because there is a sudden surge in acceleration when it happens.

A glorious sounding HSV GEN-F2 GTS was in front of me for a couple of sessions. Those things sound epic! The driver seemed like a n00b (like myself) but he let me pass eventually during both sessions.

Stock as a rock, so far. I'll track it a few times before I mod it

sticky r spec tyres will help a lot to alleviate the nannies kicking in all the time in MDM mode
