Honestly guys, I don't reckon anyone at the cruise was a tool. If anything it was me due to the exhaust...

Mixed you guys up - it was Trento I was talking to about the exhaust, not Danny. Bit of Monday morning brain fade on my behalf. Hope those electrical issues get sorted out by the way mate, that was really weird.

Trento, how many revs were you pulling at launch? I was really impressed with how yours took off...I'll have to try harder next time (had no revs on board when I started!). From experience mine launches pretty well at 4000RPM with the traction control off. Apparently the gearbox in the XR4 has been designed to restrict the amount of torque accessible in first gear - once in second and third it pulls like you wouldn't believe though.
