Do you feel like a throw back when you change gears on the MR? Or is it like that Nissan Maxima comemrcial where it's so smooth you don't notice the gear change?

It depends on what your definition is on throw back. Each shift in the ss-mode was aggressive and you could feel it 100%. It wasn't so aggressive that it threw me back into my seat but it was good enough to want me to do it again.

Well, that actually depends on what you mean by throw back. As SPT mentioned, under full throttle, its a quick positive engagement. Since you never come off the gas, there is no lull followed by a hit of power again. Feels more like a really quick and smooth power shift. So there is a jolt, but smoother and less so than a manual change. When not under full throttle or downshifting, even in super sport, its pretty smooth

I was actually one of the lucky few to get the Robispec KW suspension. The article shows about 1 second improvement, but what impressed me most is that quality of the ride from a race spec suspension and the confidence that it gives you. Two Thumbs way up for Robispec. Check out my previous post:

I would expect a little bit more improvement for $2400+... However if you're really looking to track the car then I guess its worth it.

you don't understand Emile is WAY faster than me driving! NO REALLY prior to these laps, the fastest published times for the X were in the 1:32 range with professional test drivers doing the driving Emile just showed them all how it was done! with his laps at 4 SECONDS faster than any other driver in an X !!! Man am I a cheerleader! Wohoo!

^^^ That is one humble piece of pie! Not too many would be able to admit that.

Perfect, exactly the answer I was hoping for. Thanks a bunch guys.

What?? I don't know how much you spend on tuning your car, but if you can shave a second off Streets of Willow for that price while maintaining stock quality ride, that's a damn good deal!! And for an average joe, the improvement on laptime would be more like 2~3 seconds.

another way to look at it - the stock suspension is pretty good.
