Firstly, a big thank-you to Torrie for his generosity and gratiousness in allowing me to drive and experience his Beast in regular city driving earlier last month.
To quality the situation, I have always been fearful of turbo lag especially with the GT TT setup compared to a stock or pullied/tuned GT. I guess my experience with a 1982 Porsche 911 Turbo complete with it's gross amount of turbo lag instilled this paranoia in me with it's on/off switch type of performance. Having said that and already familiar with the Jet rocket acceleration of Joe's GT TT on more than one occasion, my sole purpose was only to lug the motor ,within reason and slowly lean into the gas pedal. Having done this on atleast five occasions brought not only a huge smile to my face but relief.
What a shocker!!! There is such a minimal amount of lag to the point that it's NOT even worth talking about. Let me make clear it's not like I got sidetracked by attempting to fully accelerate the car and then get starstruck by it's huge acceleration, for in my five trials I only somewhat wound it out on one of those occasions. The amount of gas pedal input was proportional to the amount of response I experienced.
Well Done Torrie(Unleashed Tuning), Stage 6, HP Performance, Titan(Nero) and Joe.
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
Thanks again Torrie, your a real gentleman.
