At the Optima event last weekend I was standing by the starting line watching Sam as he left on a run. The traction control started cutting power right after he left so it was spitting a bit, then he did a no-lift shift to 2nd and it made some crackling noises as the ECU tried to keep the turbo on boil. The guy next to me said, "that doesn't sound good" and I said it sounded exactly like it should. He gave me a confused look. I think this car is going to generate a lot of confused looks.
