I don't think either Steven or I have quick cars - on track he has to short shift and I get blackflagged

Having experienced my mate's newly chipped Golf GTI (now 260bhp out of the 2.0 FSI) I may need some more power

Nigel told me that a vented bonnet adds about 5dB at full revs. This would explain why I was being told off at Bedford yet others with an Amuse and decat were not.
