yeah it was a bummer. Someone called me Sat night and wanted to place an offer on my house on Sun. So unfortuneately I had to do the grown up thing lol... Plus I had called a bunch of people and many said they were going to PRI. Looks like I missed a good time at PBI though
But if I sell my home I can play harder
Lets hope it was worth missing the event... I really wanted to go too...

And at some point, preferably closer to the time my son needs to start actual school, I will be buying a house in Atlanta but keeping the condo so we can travel back and forth. My home in PSL is nice but just too far from anything. It would be great if we were old, retired, and boring lol... As for track time, Im willing to go any time so give me a shout

Thanks. Gotta be honest, its awesome. Far better than I expected. Im an AMG guy by heart but this car really makes the AMG's look pretty bad. Once the holidays are over I'll start with the mods. The guy who will be doing some of the harder installs is located withn minutes of where my new place will be. I am so anxious to make this mean but my sons bday is next weekend and we'll have family here and then christmas right after. Just too busy to pull it apart in the garage. There was a period of about a week where I was so impressed with the car I was thinking of leaving it alone. Im over that though lol... Time to mod...

Quick update...
Ran to PBIR for a drift event. Had to run the V down the 1/4 mile for fun. I drove an hour to the track, ran through tech, and was driving to the lanes and they said load up. Car was heat soaked and had a full tank of gas. Wouldnt you know it, I ended up lining up against a GTR lol... Well I ran the car as it comes from the factory. Didnt even touch the tire pressure and babied the launch in fear of blowing the tires off the car. I havent driven a rwd car in about 10 years lol... But the car performed as expected. Not only did I beat the GTR I ran an impressive 12.3@115 w/ a 1.9 60'. I launched at 1K with the traction control on lol... The gtr did run a 12.1@117 but I beat him on the reaction time and 60' Cant wait for mods.... I only did one pass. No need to beat it. I just wanted a baseline and since that was close to some of the best times Ive seen Im confident the car is runing well. No doubt the cars have gone 11.9 bone stock as people have claimed. Im sure I couldve done much better with better weather, multiple passes to learn the car, and actually launching the car instead of rolling into it... But it was a fun night none the less...

How comfortable is it for daily driving, any stiffness at all?
I am considering a 2009, any difference between 2009 vs 2011?
