‘Congrats on your new car! Please share pictures with us! These cars are truly amazing and so fast. To me, they are just a hoot to drive and have great lines.

Thanks all for the help in providing input.

I don't know all the specifics of the mods, but the car is in like-new condition, the owner doesn't appear to have cut any corners with upgrades, and I don't think the flash and mods are increasing the power by any crazy amount. Will probably dyno the car to find out.

Amazing cars! I don't understand how anyone could find them boring to drive - not just powerful, the handling and braking is also superb. These are real driver's cars.

Of course pics don't really do these cars justice. In the flesh, the presence of the car is more muscular and sculpted, but still somewhat understated and dignified.

Now that you own it, time to inventory the existing mods.

Take pictures of the exhaust, Both turbos, exit hoses, intercoolers, etc and post them up. You might have Stage 4, possibly a Stage 3.

Then get a real tun@SamboTT@ByDesign

Is it normal for the car to sometimes have metallic rattling noises from the engine area when the car is shifting in Sport Plus mode? Sounds as though there’s a metal flap which sometimes rattles. I never hear this in Normal or Sport mode.

Can you be more specific? For example - is the sound throughout the rev range including between gears, or just when gear changes take place? Which gear changes specifically? Is the sound present during gear changes at WOT or also at part throttle gear changes? etc...
