Hi Magic. I could not spin the tires with the ct-26 without using the clutch. So the launch, like everything else, is much more powerful now. It also makes driving more challenging....and fun.

I am going to try to post a video when I take my buddy for a ride. We haven't had a chance to get him out in the car yet.

The car is my daily driver. I am looking for a nice 4wd 4cyl extended cab tacoma at the moment. The problem is that these things hold their value too well its hard to find good deals out there.
