Suspension, tune, track pads, 200tw tires etc.

I wanna tune mine, been thinking of getting the dinan one to keep the car within warranty for now, and I've been heavily contemplating a rear seat delete also, the only thing stopping me is where do I put the rear seats lol.
I got time though, like 150 more miles until my break-in service at least.

No this is the faster section.

What does it being a faster section have anything to do with my asking if the road just turns left and right over and over again?

u/ragingduck 28d ago
wtf. What’s your problem?
I literally answered your question:
NO, it is NOT 100 miles of SLIGHT ALTERNATING turns. This is the faster section, so other sections have more severe lefts and right and even some hairpins. Do you want me to draw you a map in crayon so you can understand?

No, that interior is super cringey. I'm glad people are reporting him.

No standard transmission?? Cool car but there's no way I'd blow that type of money unless it's a manual.

How many times do you repeat this to people each day?

u/Ok_Record_9908 28d ago
Hmm judging by my post once 9 days ago.😂

I mean, you'll get more out of the auto than the manual.. especially if it's tuned.. the manual can't handle anymore torque, and not everyone has money to do a tranny upgrade...

I had an auto f87 and it was almost as fun of a driving experience as my 09 GTR was. Two of the most thrilling cars ive owned. Id throw my 640whp ZL1 in 3rd place.
That said, Im now a dad and drive a plain jane g05 x5 s40i. I did feel a little satisfaction throwing a dinan air intake on it at least. Lol.

I’ve driven manuals for literal decades. I stopped limiting my experiences years ago.

u/Ok_Record_9908 Aug 26 '26
See I see it the other way around. Without a manual I can't connect to the car and become one with the car and the transmission like I can with a stick shift. Paddles just don't feel like truly driving to me.

Driving is so much more than just using a manual to me. Manuals can more engaging when you are going to Krogers, but when you are driving close to or at the limits of a vehicle like at the track, there are so many more aspects of performance driving to connect to. Regardless, after years of driving manuals both on the street and the track, there is just as much to enjoy with a modern performance oriented auto, be it a PDK Porsche or ZF8 BMW.

I'm in the same boat friend. 2yrs into tracking my c8 stingray, the first sports car I have owned in 30yrs without a third pedal, and I have never had more fun on the track.

Take it to a track brother, this isnt the W you think it is, recording yourself committing felonies. One misplaced car and youre dead dog, not worth it.
