Re: Proof Cinqs Can Accelerate In Fifth

Bloody hell, The rate of acceleration is constant through the whole run, It's completely relentless.

Nice, What mods have you done to it? (only been here a month or so, i am not familiar with the car).

Re: Proof Cinqs Can Accelerate In Fifth

Alex, you're crazy!

Does it do that all the way upto the limiter? It just doesn't seem to slow down What's it stop at, other than 'private road security vehicles'?

Re: Proof Cinqs Can Accelerate In Fifth

will keep flying around like it that till just past 120ish as long as you dont hit a hill then its a bit less of a flying needle for the last 1,000 or so rpm

edit: Keep watching it thinking "im sure its quicker from 60 than that..." then remembering im normally in 3rd when accelerating past 60
