JC in his Miami tune only got 11.793 odd over quarter. That was on a drag strip and tyres I think were tailored semis for strip but nevertheless- shows what a tune only Mimai is capable of in straight line performance. But I think this Premcar is not about being a dragcar but a total engineered package?

I'd assume the test car is a manual? Bloody hard to run a good time with a stick and a heap of power.

I’ve run 11.9 on street tyres with tune only. premcar modified cars are not running good numbers if they can’t get under 12.

Premcar said they kept the torque restriction on the early gears to protect the driveline. Maybe the aftermarket tunes get rid of this and achieve much better acceleration?

For years Fpv and Ford have had tyres that where chosen by accountants. Now that we have Michelin cup 2 tyres, there are no excuses for poor acceleration times period.

Motor Magazine video walkaound:
https://www.whichcar.com.au/features...lkaround-video Interestingly, this blue auto version featured was also the last Sprint sold - found at a dealership as unsold stock in October last year. Thread on that here. Even though it's got the full Premcar upgrade, it sounds like they're keeping it with minimal km's onboard. |

484kW equates to around 420rwkw
ZF auto versions will have super long gearing though due to the 7000rpm redline.

This all looks great ...I guess you have to believe that the premium price over typical aftermarket parts is magical because it's Premcar ? In listening to these descriptions that make these parts special ......2 stage intercooling , wouldn't all aftermarket intercooler act the same ? ....unlike the competition option they display
Just not convincing IMO

Trailing Blade
From: https://www.facebook.com/premcarholygrail/ "The Premcar SVT Trail Blade is made from Aircraft Grade billet aluminum. It's designed to accommodate the width of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres (295mm) … the factory standard was 275mm. The new Trail Blade and re-engineered bush have a significant impact on delivering a better driving experience." |

Work of art...
If only Premcar sold these trialing arms as a kit, they could sell thousands.

Its all a matter choice like everything and thankfully there is options.
One is I would consider in the "better" basket and the other in the "best"........ Those opting for the best don't consider what is adequate, they just prefer having the best no matter the cost whereas others opt better mostly due to budget I guess.
