No. This was a PP2, see the "struggling" thread. Point being, in 3rd gear, doing 40kmh, you hit the gas a bit to have some fun and you are at illegal speeds, well in excess of legal speeds. At some point, the fun is diminished, you don't even change from 3rd to 4th in a 10 speed box. The car has absolutely shed tons of grip.
