Lol @ fast
This reminds me of some documentary i watched years ago about the corvette Le Mans team. I think it was the team owner who was talking about the (new at the time) ceramic brake rotors on the car and how they'll glow bright red but they wouldn't need to be swapped for the entire race. Next scene was 14 hours later and the rotors are glowing red then suddenly as the car is entering a turn, bang, rotor blew up.
These things are crazy to see up close. Everything is so different than a road car. The alternator is driven off the rear differential.This reminds me of some documentary i watched years ago about the corvette Le Mans team.

Kids these days don't appreciate how slow everything used to beIn 1966 when I was 18 I bought a 66 Plymouth Fury with the 426 Hemi engine. I thought it was fast and in it's day it was but not by today's standards. My 18 SE would beat it. Of course the GTI isn't stock either.
mine might not be fast but it does have doors.
How else do you replace the cabin filter? lolmine might not be fast but it does have doors.
