You are saying rolls are boring coming from PDK owner 
What would be the difference from a dig in your computer controlled PDK? Stage your car with computer taking care of launch control, let go of the brake, computer manages most of your wheel spin, computer gives you perfect no lift lightning shifts for the rest of the pull and then you pass the checkered flag and brake.
If you wanted more involvement then a 6spd 911 should be in your cards or bring your S4 (I had a AWE STG3 S4 back in the day, one of the best overall machines I owned!) and have full involvement no matter from a dig or roll!

. I apologize if it was taken as such. It was meant to poke fun at the, "rolls being boring", with the PDK part, especially that you own a high HP 6speed car (B5 S4's) and PDK so you personally know the difference, skill and involvement that is needed in a manual from especially a dig, but even from a roll.
Sincerely,
Bobby Ali

Understood, as Adam has mentioned his foot work from launch. I was not being furceious or taking away anything from your accomplishments. I apologize if it was taken as such.

Yea....my B5 twists axles from a dig and I'm getting tired of replacing them so no more launches for me! If I can get my tune ironed-out by then I'll bring the wagon to pocono just to see how the old bird stacks up.

I would too but its just not setup for the 1/2 mile. Honestly, its not setup for racing as a whole. Its really built as a GT car: big power coupled with creature comforts. Lets see if I can get everything (new clutch, etc) broken-in before the next event (roll racing)
