EVERYTHING!!! The new X is on an entirely different level than the VIII. I can't think of one thing I liked better about my VIII. There is no comparison. Everything about the car, in the car, you name it...it is better on the X.

Sure, the VIII is a real nice car. I had it for 5 years and loved it. But it is old technology now. The X is much more advanced in MANY ways.


Congrats on the purchase. You will love it. I went from a 385who VIII, so I know the feeling. The power isn't there with the new X, but it's stock, and that can easily be fixed.

Do you have any of the hesitation problems?

Not that I can really tell. You can tell it feels like it's sluggish about 5,000, but that's because of the tune. The boost drops way off above 5,000 rpm.

I ran a 13.6 @ 101mph stock, so as far as I'm concerned it is running fine. I don't believe the car had any reflashes from the dealer either.

Congrats. I've had mine for 2k miles, and loved every second of it. Don't forget to get the flashes, and have fun.

congrats.

after you mentioned punching your bf in the knee i started to wonder whether you were a girl or not.

either way, girl or guy with a boyfriend, "you go girl" seems appropriate for both.
