lol guys
I used super sport yesterday for the first time with the paddle's.
It helped more learning the car for the first week in sport mode D, dont forget to downshift before taking a corner (thank you EVO brakes)

On a side note: My wife and kids took her out for a spin without asking my permision, she was like "you told me its our car"

1200 miles as of last night

Here's some pictures I just took past weekend, I tinted the windows in 30% Titanium, I also tinted the side marker lights and rear third stop light. they used a plyable tinted plastic that was shaped by a heater gun.
You'll also notice the inner stiff rubber molding was cut off on the interior side, this will prevent scratches, also I can now drive with my elbow sticking out. Before it was just cut like a stiff blade hurting your arm. this is a great mod even if no tint.

The one thing I couldn't understand with our sunroof'd X's was: with all the luxury items over the regular MR and GSR's, why the hell couldn't they fit a rear dome light in the back seats!

I noticed driving in second sport mode at 2500-3000rpm you can hear the turbo whistling very softly, it almost even sounds like an airplane high in the sky sort of.
anyone else notice this?

I recall you saying that you don't rev your VIII. Is that were you typically keep your X - 2500-3000RPM?

Why? It's like your car, except with a different transmission, and leather. What are you expecting?
