Big congrats, that car is GORGEOUS, actually made me think twice about my next purchase lol, along with a killer price and tastefully modded, you got a GOOD deal!

BTW
"The Techart front end might seem a bit too aggressive but paired with the painted rocker panels and the factory GT2 wing, it had that elusive combination of power and elegance."

I totally agree!! Type 1 front with no side vents, painted rockers are the way to go, so clean and yet aggressive. Enjoy the car, be safe

Thanks guys! Right now, I'm in learning mode on this car. I just spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how the stereo works! Also noticed that I have to watch out for the LWFW, since I've stalled the car once when I was backing out of a spot.

Is it normal when you blip the throttle that the revs come down quick with the LWFW? I am finding myself being a little more conscious of the revs even when I am backing out of a parking spot!

A little misfire on the first week with Tennessee...but I think they're on track again. They need to go through a few more challenges but I think USC is vulnerable this year in PAC-10 play.

Yes its normal, it revs faster and more freely, meaning revs will drop faster too You will get it soon, try being a bit steadier on the throttle instead of blipping it!

I've learned that now!

Also curious, when you launch your cars hard in 3rd gear from say 30mph, do you get wheelspin? I am trying to figure out if PSM is intervening or something else is going on.

If this is Duane's old car, then I have a piece of that car in my garage. I bought his stock X50 exhaust from him when I first bought my Turbo.
Anyway, congrats and enjoy it.

Launch it in 3rd?!? You mean just hit the throttle hard in 3rd? If so, i dont get wheelspin, im not quite up there power wise LOL, but in 2nd under boost with the colder weather im starting to get wheelspin. I feel its MUCH MORE DRAMAMTIC with PSM, with it off it kind of let's it ride out and isnt bad!

Beautiful Car!!

Pitch the loud exhuast so that you can enjoy the car at ANY RPM!
It will make the car seem more refined.
