Something clicked tonight.

I think I have finally found that sweet spot for my clutch. All evening I have been shifting beautifully and it is very enjoyable.

I do however desire more power. I think that part of the problems I have with actually accelerating at a decent speed (as opposed to taking off like a rocket) is that my engine lacks enough low end torque to ease into the clutch without being really precise. There seems to be a very tight sweet spot where the clutch engages and the throttle is just enough that you take off smoothly, but it is quite a quick take off, not that I mind, I just would like to avoid a cop pulling me over for it.

At any rate, there is a guy who builds a bolt on super charger kit for the V6 Tib. If I am ever in a position financially where I can afford one,i think I am going to go for it. They are showing that the straight kit, no other mods is putting around 200 horses on the ground, and add to that Intake, Header and a decent Exhaust, and you are looking at 250 WHP. I think that would be plenty sufficient for me. Just enough power to be fast, but not so much that I end up killing myself or going to jail :)

Of course, after that I would want the CF hood, a small drop and high performance suspension, maybe some rims with wider rubber.

Of course at some point along the line I have to grab a couple 10 inch subs and and amp, as well as some decent coaxes for the rear and a nice high quality component set for the front...

ahh dreams. Maybe if I win the lotto eh?



I never said WHY I felt bad... it wasn't for the obvious reasons... It's actually pretty convoluted.
