1st gear they hardly make 200whp, 2nd is a little more, it's only until they hit 3rd gear that they make full power. And you really need the driver mod to get the best out of these cars.

Sucks the guy was such a DB, idk what he thought he was going to prove, i mean he is driving a freakin station wagon...

are the new speed3 still dying at 5500 rpm ? they used to face plant at that rpm , I remember 1st and 2nd gear the boost was limited by the ecu to control torque steer and wheel hop .

Yeah, 5750rpm is all you get on stock tune before falling out of boost HARD. And in 1st and 2nd gear it comes fast lol, i remember when i would drive my 2V i could keep my eyes on the road and just listen for "that right time" to shift because the gears were so long. Now, i pretty much have to glance at the road to make sure im going straight, then keep my eyes on the tach.
