Nice runs! Well done. Where was the car shifting itself at? At redline? I wonder if/how much more performance could be gotten out of the car if you were shifting and "short-shifting" a bit earlier… since we all know the N55 still falls off towards redline (not as bad as the N54 used to, at least from my experience). I was thinking short shifting it and hitting the next gear where the revs are still near the peak of the torque curve might help a bit?
Regardless, I definitely want to see this thing with upgrades. People bash automatics all the time, but that 8-speed is impressive for sure.
