As the car went downhill, I could feel the ice under the tires like an extended set of light rumble strips. Got safely downhill and got the hell out of there in a hurry, we're talking a potential 10 - 20 car pileup if some idiot failed to drive appropriately.

Ordered Perrin resonated catback and Visconti STG1 tune. I haven't even hit 1000 miles yet, but I have big plans for this car!

Today I fought 2nd gear. It's pretty hilarious when I forget that it's impossible without hulking out on it, and am in traffic going 11mph revving my engine in neutral.

I keep hearing all the complaints about the tranny. Mine is smooth, a little chunky in the morning for cold warm up but good other than that

I expect a post on this in our on-going aero discussion thread or you make the diffuser its own dedicated thread.
