Put it this way:
Two years ago at an Audi school at Road Atlanta, I had the fastest
time on the Solo circuit among 30 or so students, using a TT with
manual shift. Last October at Pocono Raceway, I had the second
fastest time on the Solo circuit among 40 students, using a TT with an
auto. I also did quite well at the Bondurant school driving Rousche
prepared Ford Mustangs with manual xmsns.
I used to teach this school, http://skidschool.us/,
but retired a few
years abo because the 8 hours of fighting the Gs in a car with
students was getting the best of me. I sponsor five kids a year at
this school, and because I am an instructor emeritus, get lots of time
in the cars with the kids I sponsor, both demonstrating the exercises,
and sitting in the right-hand seat.
It is not that I *can not* drive a stick, but rather that I no longer
enjoy it. Yes, me feet and legs hurt, a result of old age, but I am
far from giving up the ghost! d;o) Paddles on the steering wheel or
just plain auto are fine for me. And, yes, I can make an emergency
stop, all 210 pounds of me on the brake pedal and I can Solo as well
as most younger folks. d;op But, ya got me beat with reaction time,
there, young fella. But, then again, I no longer drag race.
Thank you for your concern.
Now, back to the original question:
Do you or anyone else know anything about after market coil overs for
an RS6 (ya know, if I can drive an RS6 ...... never mind...),
specifically Bilstein PSS9s, or the STaSIS package.
