All of the best videos on YouTube will start with the words: “Traction Control off for this one”.

MR dynamics can be a blessing or a curse, but there’s no doubt that it can be radically different from FR.

What do you figure the DCT will give in the way of 0-60 times or the 1/4 mile over 3-pedal? 1/2 second? Of course, where it will really be useful is in helping to keep the headlights pointing forward if you mess up a downshift.
