I remember the guys from TopGear testing the EVO VIII vs the slowest standard Lancer on a runway from I don't know what speed (very low) in the highest gear... Even with such a long straight runway the EVO VIII lost (as in LOST -> L.O.S.T.) from the basic Lancer 1.3. So I hope you can sleep again now after reading this. It's OK, these cars make their power in the high revs or when the big turbo is spooling! Just put in the clutch, shift down a few gears and let the Seat's feel the VTEC power! But I know what you mean, sometimes I could use a DSG as well

btw : 65 km/h = 2nd gear

Last night was the first time EVER I think I wished I was driving a car with an auto.

I just got out of the gym, and my left leg cramped up HORRIBLY.

Let me tell you, trying to work the clutch with your entire leg cramped up like that is a painful experience.

Not to mention I had a guy in an S4 who wanted to run. Ah well...

Oh, and I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what the hell a "Seat" is.

CTS?

I'll probably feel very stupid when someone posts the answer.

Seat is an automanufacturer like Honda but they do not sell their cars in North America.
