Secrets?

I just purchased a carerra cab few days ago i was wondering if there any secrets for our car. What i mean by secret is if you did not read the manual thoroughly then you wouldn't know about cool things in your car. For example for s2000 there is a secret compartment that if you did not read the manual you probably did not know about it.

Until you can demonstrate the secret handshake no one will share the secrets...

Someone told me that if you lift your handbrake one notch it turns the car from awd to rwd in a 4s. Haven't verified this yet.

Did you find the cup holders yet? The place to store your pen in the glovebox? The power port in the center console? That's about as good as it gets.

There is a secret compartment over the passenger footwell. In it, there may be a hidden manuscript - if you find it, all will be revealed.

Is your car a PDK ?

1) I like the rev matching downshift .
2) I like that the car ignores any command which would produce an over rev.

Lifting any corner of the car with a jack raises both wheels on the same side.

You mind me asking where the secret compartment is for the S2000? I use to own one and wondering if I have missed out.
