Now that I have over 600 miles on the car the brakes have a lot more feel. Still probably getting some hawk pads in the future. My only real tick is the passenger airbag sensor and traction control. My laptop bag will set it off so I just use the floor. Traction controls seems to auto engage at 35+mph.

Yes he does a little in the face making dept I would prefer he stay more with his grandfathers roots...Fernando Alonso it is!

I have some friends who race in the American Le Mans series and they got started in kart racing at 4 guess what my boy is getting for his 4 yr old birthday present

BTW if you have a kid or know a kid who loves cars let them get close. Its funny because I had a SL500 and he was so scared of that car. The folding roof and car to him looked scary and not sporty lol the FRS not so much. I keep having to lock the garage door otherwise I will find him in there talking to the car. Also I did fit both the boys in the back seats with plenty of leg room to spare for myself. Now I usually have 2 kids racing around making peeling out noises and car noises everywhere Reminds me of my youth
