How responsive is it off boost? Or do you just not drive it off boost (like turbo cars are supposed to be driven :-)) ?

Peter, you're scaring me, next you'll be asking what the MPG is like? :)

it pulls well off boost, feels really torquey untill it opens up and the turbo punches me in the back and woooosh! :)

it's great around town off boost, you can pull away from most cars off boost hehe

Yep, it is nice pressing a pedal and leaving the mortals behind, isn't it?

Have fun !

Oh indeed - nothing like watching the traction control light come on when you boot it in second and the boost snaps in...

Happy days......

What's traction control?

I got ESP on the quattro, apparently it even slows the engine down if you get out of control, also applies the anti lock brakes to individual wheels when the car starts to oversteer/understeer, sounds like a cool thing, you can turn it off though :)

Unlikely, the OFF button on most traction control systems rarely does actually that...

It merely tells the car that there's a loony at the wheel, so get ready with the airbags!

the airbags!

LOL

like my dad's volvo with it's STC shit, the manual goes into great detial on what it does when it's on but under off all it says is 'this turns it off, but don't turn it off' pretty much :)

The system on most Mercs can be turned off, but as soon as you do something fun, it turns it back on then slaps you on the wrist.

On the proper powerful ones, you can't turn it off, heh!

My 19 has a steering wheel, 3 pedals and a handbrake. Works just as well ;)

mine does.... Much better on though as it'll brake a spinning wheel letting you get power down sooner - ace on country roads...

on what it does when it's

pretty much :)

The pre-crash recorder also records whether it was on or off when the airbags triggered...
