What do you find to be your optimum driving style?

where did you get you remaps and how much did they cost?

id say on a normal daily drive to work i wouldnt go over 3k revs, no roads are challenging.

But when its went i dont mind been a bit heavy footed;)

So far ive not had the car scare me to think it cant be pushed harder into corners tbh, but its rare i thrash it all time, im more of a have a go in couple of bends n see what 0-60 is like :)
No need to go high in the revs to have fun, find a road with many bends and try to stick to a certain speed (don't go slower or faster). You can even do this on normal roads, as long as you keep the speed high enough so that the bends are challenging. Now every time you drive on the same road bump up the speed with 2 or so and keep it constant.

Keep in mind the profile on your tires, temperature, weather conditions and such. Don't go driving on a road which you could drive yesterday on a sunny day at the same speed on a damp day. And watch other traffic, they don't expect people to drive bends at such speed.
 
ye generally I am in 6th gear after 40 and take the line correctly, but if the engines warmed up its nice to hear the noise

I`ve always tried to push all my cars bit harder when the conditions are'nt great (a bit wet), on nice wide roads where nothings about. Then if you are on a road and something does go wrong you can hopefully keep car under control

What sort of gains did you guys see from a remap?

I didn't remap it for power gains, more for various specific requirements I had to make it drive more to my tastes. Increase in the rev limiter, Lambda target maps, vanos/valvetronic maps, advance maps, throttle maps....

I'm fairly sure it's quicker, but it's a mild tune to start with - I'm due to get a datalogger, and we'll be going more agressive for the next one :P
