did a second gear drift today while turning left. have to find some time to hit the track in this guy so I can do 3rd and 4th gear drifts next.

the car has better turn in than the previous gen RS stock for stock.

the engine revs noticeably faster as a result of the shorter gearing ratios.

shifting feels the same, that awesome notchy throw never gets old.

the new seats are awesome.

51 miles so far, haven't had a chance to bed in the rotors and pads yet. need to ASAP.

Every day game, he'd turn from the stop sign past me and absolutely wind it out in 1st and 2nd. Never did stop by...........

Anyway, car looks great! I know you'll enjoy it. All you guys who have them, try to keep them in reasonably good shape so there's something left for us bottom feeders to pick from when they're 10-15 years old.
