What do you feel like saying, right now?

Dude, you’re posting to me like I speak and understand the same car language you speak and understand. I’m not a car guy, remember? Lol. I see you changed your siggy. That car must be bad ass because I’ve never seen you mention any of your cars in your siggy. Got another stick shift huh? Nice.

Alpha black. Great choice.

Sticks aren’t available for these. It has a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. So the AWD system is has works best with computer-controlled gear shifts for maximum traction. Plus, it makes too much power for a traditional manual gearbox to handle reliably. That’s why a stick isn’t available. That part I’ll miss. I love traditional manual transmission.

With the popping, it runs a rich air-fuel mixture, especially during shifts and throttle lift-off. What happens is unburnt fuel enters the exhaust system, where it ignites due to the high heat, causing the popping or crackling noise. It’s especially noticeable if I put it in sport or race mode, where the ECU keeps the throttle open longer for performance. The ECU (Engine Control Unit) is the computer that controls the engine’s operation. And the twin-turbochargers it has build up a lot of boost, so when you let up off the throttle aggressively, too fast or quickly, excess air and fuel are released, which also contributes to the popping sound as the turbos relieve pressure.

“Bad ass” is an understatement man. It’s just insanely unreal. It will eat some Lambos and Ferraris for lunch. It’s that brutally fast. And at launch, it’s just blistering.
