Ok - enough of me bitching about power levels. The straight six with twin turbos (N55) looks like it will offer substantial options for tweaking anyway.
I've sent a couple of mailsto get some suggestions, but being a Turbo engine, the option to increase power on an aftermarket basis is significant, so maybe I don't need to worry about that side of things after all..
friend has this engine: 361 (euro) HP and 400+NM
dashboard: more like TRAD

LESS IS MORE
I'm reading the book "how steve (jobs) thinks"
the key of his view on "his" products: the more you leave out of it, the better the consumer can and feel comfy using them
The MMC-boys should read that book!!!!!
Tony: good point on double-clutch!!!!, I've decided already: manual, roll-bar etc (99?GT3-style)
