    Today I was messing with a buddy on the way back from getting his new car and floored it and it downshift and went like a bat out of hell then I heard a new exhaust note looked down I was at 6000 rpms and 100mph redline at 6200 it hit redline then shutdown till it shifted. what could have caused it? Tranny temps were at 165-175 and its never happened before what the hell did I do lol

    No idea.

    Maybe something with torque managment/abuse mode.

    I'm betting it was diff anti score that cut your engine power on the autocross. Otherwise the built in abuse modes programmed in your computer would cut engine power if the conditions were met

    Coming out of corners at half throttle with some tire spin on lossest tire maybe cut it because of spinning 1 tire? Plus I have a wheel bearing going out well 2 but ones worse then other it shuts everything down as soon as I turn the wheel right

    Makes sense if you're serious about doing auto x or drag you need to get the ep clutch diff upgrade

    Makes sense that would replace bad suspension parts before auto crossing a car.
