    So I dunno how some of the Rocco guys do it! hahaha
    No... its a long way off the limit...
    Mine is running the Motorsport Viezu tune and while you certainly can light it up if you want... you can also get it off the line and moving very fast with little to no initial wheelspin and chirps on gearchange...
    It all comes down to Finesse with the right foot...

    Hahahaha this is also true.
    Most of the time I was getting wheelspin was while I thought my AWD was working and wasn't so I was being very brutal on the throttle hahaha then it occurred to me that it was sending all power through the fronts

    I guess I need to learn the art of being a bit wimpy on throttle input on take-off

    hehe, maybe I'll just settle on the headband mounting option for the GoPro. Resulting video looks great, but surely you must look like a bit of a dork when wearing it

    The same way they fitted the R32 motor into the MkV Golf.
