Re: daily driving fun cars

It just depends on how far you are pushing the car. The farther you push it to the limit the more finicky it will be, that goes for any car. I think a big part of your issue is that you don't trust the car yet either. Once you get everything set good and have put a few thousand miles on it trouble free, then you won't feel like that.

600whp on a 4 cylinder is going to be much more stressful to drive than 800whp on a TT LS2.

IDK, I have been putting a *LOT* of miles on my X (only 599whp dynojet, sigh) and while it does have problems here and there, if I make sure to be proactive and quick fixing them it is fine. I do listen for strange noises whenever I drive it but I'm not overly concerned with them 100% of the time. The thing is stout and reliable, gets me to work and back and everywhere inbetween.
