The VVT and the paddel shifters

People misunderstand these L99 cars but when built right, driven right they are badass

Isn't it crazy how car interior look like plane cockpits now!!! They look awesome but insane how much info and controls are located an arms reach from the driver!

Shortly after bolt on stage then comes the goal of 10s with a small compressor, so on and so forth.

And by small I mean by current PT standards 88mm or so. Just a short stop from the 98+mm down the road too. Hahaha
