diesel shifting

On the diesel, I always shift it manually. See this particular car has a different turbo than most cars I hear. This one puts out more volume and pressure. I have great power from 2000-4400 rpms. I think that if I had the turbo prespooled before I got to the starting line, I think that I could get my reaction time down to .7 or .6, and then the quartermile would be around 17.6 seconds...not bad for a diesel.

I am going to take my W123 diesel out here pretty soon, haha. With ac on and without it on.

Did you beat the jetta?
