Shifts were using the HUD which is excellent...... M mode was selected and setup correctly all throughout. The first Launch was pretty good and the STI didn't pass straight away, but I agree the second launch was very poor, just bogged down abit....
I was shifting perfectly according to the HUD, but the RA only weighs in at 1200kg, which was a big plus in its favour. The sound was a bit distorted on the vid so music had to be added onto the background. We were racing, its just a shame that the sound distorted in windows movie maker, I will post up the original movies before editing as the sound should be ok in them..
When I came across the Z06 we did take that out by a car-length upto 100 with the same launch style, and the guy was well impressed with the M and didn't think that he would lose to it....
As a note the same STI has taken out the new 997 Turbo numerous times as well as a few other exotics. He did say that he was impressed at how the M6 faired compared to some other people he has raced in the past.
