We have only had it two weeks and 600 miles so far, so it's just getting broken in. Have been collecting the parts we need for it: race wheels, tires, have catback straight exhaust system and trailer hitch on order, so we haven't raced it yet. There is a test and tune on the 11th and autocross on the 12th in Charlotte, we plan to christen her there.
So far the car feels great, like a thoroughbred race car right off the showroom floor. The suspension is quite stiff with HUGE swaybars, so there is almost no body roll! The HP and torque is amazing, push the pedal down and it JUMPS ahead you watch the other cars drop back in your mirrors like they put their brakes on. I cant wait to put the exhaust on it. I helped design it, and the prototype added 20-32 RWHP and 20-25 Ft# torque along the entire power band over the stock pipe and muffler on the dyno, Turbos LIKE to breathe! I knew it would increase power, but when the readings came back we were all shocked at how much.
