So if you are following a 1.8T that is spitting flames at you at every gear
change do not try to race with it, just sit back and admire.
Talking of this, did you all see the Hyundai in the Maine Forest rally
finish on 3 cylinders. They removed a spark plug due to damaged valves and
made it to the end. That thing was spitting and popping like crazy.
