Get a little bit more shimmy when you do that but it's mild and otherwise the weight distribution is superior to top up.

I bet the vert with 6MT gets awesome traction, with that much torque I bet your getting almost full traction because of the added weight. No point in having more power of you can't put down what you have.
This is my first car ever that I felt as if I needed to LOWER power, mostly in gears 1-2.
I have not even enjoyed the M in anything over 65 degrees, I can only imagine how awesome traction will become in 85-100 degree weather. Like I said, I can pin 1st from 5mph in Efficient and Sport and basically get it to hook. I am at 4500ft and only have access to 91, I'm for sure not making as much power as you sea level/93oct guys. I can't launch it consistently from a dig, and that honestly is the only thing that pisses me off
I recently bought some 285/40R18 Nitto 555Rs for summer, it's been too cold and rainy to mount them on, but I will as soon as I get a chance. The things I do for traction, driving on drag radials that last from 8-10k miles so I can get this car to hook.
