Congrats on the car! You're only 995.5 miles from headers, E85, and ~200whp!

Haha, I'm a little over a month in and only at about 730 miles on the odo.

RIP me, I'm super slow!

No illusion. You could get 2 credit cards behind there is all I am guessing. I will see if i can make a measurement tomorrow. scary low clearance. the BREMBOS ARE ENORMOUS.

The advertisements had them as small long red things. They are huge footballs.

They also make for the most solid braking experience ever. Like a brick but really smooth and even. Love them. Braking is satisfying. It makes me want to get max summer grip tires and see what they can do after break in.

Very good brakes on our cars with the STI-sized calipers & rotors to match. Hella dusting from the Jurid pads, but damn good bite! You'll be loving everything about the car, my guess

I hate to tell you but once you get past 1k miles you go right into the torque dip and it's pretty disappointing. There is a decent amount of torque before the dip which makes it deceiving. I was like... that's it?

This car is freakin awesome holy poop!

And the brakes are crazy. Icing on the cake for the sensation of the car. Very stiff pedal, not much travel on it. I have yet to truly push on the brakes, not much of a reason to so far.

I will have a photo with me by the car when it is not raining. It stopped but i had no time sunday to clean it. Rain and mud on it. Today I am detailing the interior. All cars from factory are much more dirty than one would guess. Also, that leather is DRY in there. Have to clean and condition it right away. I am going to hit it about 4x before June is done is my goal. I have to figure out how to vacuum the Alcantara. I dont want to use a high suction + crap bristle brush on it. Maybe low suction of some kind with a smooth vacuum head. Need to figure something out this week.

congrats! and i see you got the best color too!!

the break in period is tough to get through, but once you do it's a blast, had mine for almost 2 months and i'm only at 1200mi

You'll be pleasantly surprised at how freakin' tough the Alcantara is- high suction, low suction, gets wet, Alcantara is like the honey badger

Ya that .2 of a second as you blast through the dip is horrible. Must drop a whole 1/10 a MPH before the torque is back again. I lose .00001 seconds off my driveway to stop sign a block away time.

damn. car is trash. I should go buy a sedan with a turbo in it that understeers instead. Oh wait, I did not and saved $3k.
