How are sequential gearboxes when changing gear at low RPM? Is it generally jerky and unpleasant unless you're at full throttle?

Sounds fine, and it could just be the video, but there seemed to be a whole lot of noise and things for not really all that much go. I mean I know it's a 106 and everything, but what's the point?!

It seems to get past an Evo without a problem, in his Donington vid.

It makes a Focus ST look like its going backwards and passes a 400bhp evo with ease. With no boost and front wheel drive, who the hell can class that as slow

Focus ST let him past, and I think the 106 left the braking quite late to pass the Evo. I can't believe people are doubting it's fast though.

not that im a 106 hater or anything

but pulling out of the corners, the Evo seems to be pulling away slightly. Look at 00:45 into that video. The evo is pulling away

He doesnt get much on him, apart from under breaking, untill halfway down the straight, when all of a sudden, he goes from level pegging with him, to reigning him in

either the evo backed off, or the evo hit some sort of limiter or something

*edit* watching him again, it looks like the 106 might have slipstreamed him.

I reckon the Evo backed off, 106 was late on the brakes and entered the chicane too quickly. I did exactly that in my Civic except I just went straight on, ask Paradigm or Firestar

It's still one rapid car though.
