the paragon is over 3 grand, I would not say its cheap. AP is good stuff, they supply brakes to tons of race teams, its the golden standard. Do any of us need it? of course not but do you need any of the "upgrades" you have done to your car? probably also not.

I should have bought bitcoin when it was cheap instead of car parts. I like to think of myself as a '' do as I say not as I do '' type of guy lol

I was just talking to a buddy, instead of having 4grand on shit coins right now had I put that money on BTC I would have at least 100k

The car fights you with all of the nannies left on....this guy is dreaming.

He just didn't do the pedal dance, he did long press in +R

My story

Or doing lines over hills, mountains and valleys. You never know. Car enthusiast is lesser of many evils.

I rewatched it from the beginning, it's actually pretty decent comparison since I myself I have had both cars. He does make some good points.

for the conclusion, i had to rewatch a couple times because he was not clear, he was talking pedal dance vs +R comparison. @J1Avs has also discussed it and I must say they are not wrong. I've been messing more with +R mode and the car really becomes tail happy and gets a lot more rotation.

I am lowered and have the DE5 module recently, so +R mode isn't as bad as it was before for me at least, but it does still skip across the road on bumpy surfaces somewhat. Will be interested to see what lap times look like next year. Hopefully, i'll be back to form.

My hypothesis: I think the move is coilovers with canceller, and then run in +R, TC off long press. I think you'll be able to really extract the software side + the benefits of having a more track focused suspension and not worry about the excessive rebound from the stock dampers.

I still run in +R with the long press. The amount of power I'm putting down did not go well with the pedal dance. The wheels would just spin while cornering or trying to dig out.

It even does this on stock power too . You have to be SO specific with the throttle that it's not worth the brain cells. I can definitely see if it being absolutely useless once you have more power.

 

[Tougefl5]

I agree @BigBird with your hypothesis add in RSB and you can rotate the car with just throttle if set up right.
@PointByPatrol check out the new wave track diff it's something that I think is probably needed at a certain amount of tq these cars make.
