I dont get it.

All the torque damper does is cause more engine vibration to get to the chassis, and all it does is allow you to feel the engine kick into each gear, and what will that do? Annoy most people, and it will NOT make your car faster as the torque is never changed!

Ugh what a gimmick I swear. I mean if you do a lot of shifting, then I guess having the torque get to the ground 0.3? seconds faster is worth it?

Have you ever experienced wheel hop?
Unless you have dropped your clutch on first gear at 4,500rpm then you probably haven't.

A torque damper should help control the wheel hop.

From the OP's signature banner you can tell our friend actually takes his car to a drag strip. (wheter the Yaris is fast or not is not the point here)

Anyone who has ever been on a Drag race would be able to tell you what 0.3 seconds mean.

At 80+ MPH it means around 2 car lenghts.
