I went ahead and finished up my whiteline matching set. LOL!
I put a set on the front a few weeks ago and the rears just came in. I'll pick em up and install them early next week probably.
I have some kartboys in my garage that are going to Walker and I've got the Perrin's that are coming off. I'm gonna see if I can do something fun with them. Not sure what yet.
Good luck selling those thing! People on Nasioc eat up Perrin so maybe try there.

Big difference between a rally car and a track car, a proper setup track or high end performance car for that matter uses very little steering angle. Extreme high end performance cars have the paddles part of the wheel not the hub, actually someone makes an adapter for the R35 to do this.
I personally prefer a stick shift but in something like a GT3 or berlinetta I'd go with paddles as it's a very smart system and the paddles are on the wheel.
But hell... I'd go with a stick I had to shift with my butt cheeks to own one of those two cars.

Valentino Balboni is the former chief test driver of Lamborghini. When he retired they released the Balboni edition in his honor. At his request, it was RWD and manual, compared to the rest of the lineup which are paddle and AWD 
Steering is not the high point on the WRX for sure, but mine feels a LOT better now that I did the Whiteline steering rack bushings. The ratio is still high and I was disappointed at the turning radius.

Screw the traction assistance. Screw the computers. Just car and man. That's the truest form of sports car.

Those safety measures are there for the people who end up buying those cars...a large percentage of whom have NO IDEA how to drive something like that. Just because someone can afford a car like that doesn't mean they can drive it. I see it all the time.

Really?
and I'm gonna have to agree with Ray here, I too definitely have to do the same going up Hammy.
and Simon the GTR video, he had to break often and never got full power when he was driving up and down Mulholland hwy (dunno if I'm right but...)
