hey man not to much to worry about, i've seen them run and they are not that impressive. Like all the guys say here it's 90% driver skill. Having a fast car can only get you so far if you can't drive it to its full potential. Wheel spin SUCKS! and wheel hop is even worse... oh you never really mentioned where your gonna race him street or track?? makes a big difference in technique of launch. The street is more forgiving IMO but the track can have wicked traction and snap your c-v joints like a twig. If your runnin on the street we can be a lil more specific on technique. I think either way your gonna take him to DSM school..
VW= The joy of driving DSM= The frustration of fixing
