Someone track this puppy. I mean, c'mon, with DCT it doesn't even require skill anymore. Just press 6 buttons and go!

Let's all remember that it all comes down to traction. A 100whp gain means little if you can only effectively transmit 50whp of that. Let's see how well this new diff does.
M4 was on the track all day at the Speed District event in stock form and performed without a hiccup (albeit tires) in ~110F heat. We'll be heading out there next time with the JB4 to see how things have changed.

Seems the heat wave is gone, so that's a plus.
