Ah, I missed that part.  In any case, snackers once again has a proper race car.  All is well.  It's always good to see you again :D

Great to see you back at it Cam. You need to bring this down to YYC this summer, it will really get you back into the swing of racing again.

The 3 is raw.  Lighter than more agile.  The 6 probably feels like a 747.  And by that contrast, my STI probably feels like the Hindenburg.  So GR's are like the International Space Station.

It's a bit light on the exhaust note.
Nothing at all like the 500 abarth.

A quick muffler delete at the local exhaust shop should fix it up nicely.

That is the car I was thinking about when I asked, my friend just got one and it sounds very unique from the factory. Make a video when you get the deletes done!

It's still in breakin mode, but so far I'm still getting used to it compared to say, a german made crossover or a japanese made rally inspired sedan.
I will be taking her to the first ASA event to put it through the paces that I expect out of my cars.

No new real updates or meaningful content to post, but it's out of break in mode and I'm trying to push it (as much as I feel like pushing a new car on the streets)

The turning is great. The fact that it actually *does* turn is pretty fantastic.
RWD is pretty fun, and can sometimes be a bit "brown trousers" when the turbo kicks in and you've forgotten you're no longer in an AWD luxobarge.
It got a detail on the outside. The soft top treatment seems to work pretty well.





Ordered an ebay SDCard containing the Nav system. Can't believe the dealers charge over $500 to plug in the SDcard that enables Nav.
Muffler delete will come... eventually. I forgot how much "new car cost" there is with a new car after driving it off the lot.
New car detail, 3m, additional accessories to make it "yours"...
