I saw pics of the super lap battle in a mag at the store and thought it was your X, but it had a different bumper on it. Was There another blue one? I saw there was a few X's in the list of lap times.

I saw you put sub on there... did the car have the SSS package when you bought it? If so... why didn't you just go with a base model if you were going to take everything out? Just wondering.

I wanted the SSS package at the time I bought the car.

I wish it was a race car, hopefully by the end of the season it'll evolve into one.

which battery did you go with? It seems like the only replacement thats reasonable for a daily driver. Thanks.

cool, do you have any problems in the cold or if the car sits for a while? Notice anything different over the stock battery other than the weight?
