It was a blast... the TL didn't do so well... it stalled out when we did the hard brake in the braking section on the track... couple other people stalled it out as well...

That happened to me when I was test driving an N52 X3 with the 8 speed.

My theory is that during hard acceleration the torque converter locks up, but it fails to decouple fast enough so when the car stops, the now-stationary transmission causes the revs to drop too low and the engine just stalls.
