    @bobbarrett2631 2 роки тому

    Great job fella. As an S4 owner and seeing the gearchanges, I really feel that your stick shift is wasting power, due to rev drops between shifts and of course wasting power equates to wasting fuel.
    Who can change gear quicker than semi autos etc (we have auto, auto sport and paddle mode - all in one) its terrific, and very well mated to the V6 engine, which is great to live with.
    Respect to you for getting it done - can only imagine the man hours involved in the wiring alone.

    Do agree with him on the wheels... They're too big for the car. Also not a fan of the air ride/low ride height. Sport lowered springs/struts would have been better looking, but my opinion doesn't mean squat. Matt obviously loves what he's done and there's no reason he shouldn't
