Stock to stock the .1 is by far more more a dd driver. Thats not due to its softer suspension but at low rpm it's like driving my wife's honda odyssey. It took a little to figure out that it only comes alive beyond 5000 rpm and then it screams! Those are a my first impressions. Looking forward to tinkering with it.
Hoping to join the club soon too!

Possibly you are feeling the effects of the 3.44 ring and pinion in the .1 vs the 3.89 in the .2

Thanks for all your help and answering my questions. Hope to meet you one day here in Miami. I may make the trek to LA if the kings make it to the finals.

I thought it sounded familiar. So what did you buy?

Yes summer is hellish temps. But thankfully I work out of my toronto office during the summer months and I'll be shipping the rs there. Hope to hit mosport for a de or two. There is also an okay track called shannonville. It's actually a motorcycle track which has no walls or barriers. Most days you can bring your car there anytime and pay by $5 a lap. One of these days I'll have to join in on some of the fun you guys are having. Hoping possibly a trip to spa and the ring next summer.
