Took the beast out this morning.
So, I finally really drove it in Sport+ mode today with traction control off. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!,................this thing is amazing! You can hear the downshifts and gargles a little bit more. Gonna be BONKERS with the new exhaust.

I got on it a little today and wow, this car moves out! It's so quick.
286 miles on her now.
LOL

I'll definitely will be taking the car out on Saturday, but I think Sunday isn't going to be so great. So I guess I'll leave that day for cleaning it.
She's needs a nice exterior waterless wash and cleaning of the wheels, inners and outers.

Yes, I sure have Tony. I've taken her out at least 4 times during the week, weather permitting of course lol. But now I'm down to twice a week since summer officially ended here. I'm also hoping to get in some weekend cruises before the end of October, so we'll see how it goes between now and then

Do you take your car off the road during the winter?
I don't in case it's a warm winter like we had last year and if I want to drive it, I can.

I would never drive my car in the winter, unless it's sunny out and there's no sand/salt on the roads.
Winter is coming brother. I hate that it gets dark at 6:30pm around here. How about where you are?

Exactly the reason my car never sees winter, Tony. Even when it's sunny and dry out, there's always salt residue on the roads, which is why I always wait until the rain washes away all the salt off the roads when spring finally arrives lol. It also gets dark around here at 7 which really sucks as well.

So Tony, have you seen this? Is this your car? I think they have a great point about a great competitor for the the $100k GT500 for around $60k.

That looks like a lower level RS3??? Not sure because it doesn't have the front splitter. Maybe it is, but looks weird to me for some reason?
***Edit, after reading the description in the video, it is not like my car.
There are things that are missing on that car that my car has, and actually all RS3 cars have. I think that's a car that the dealership put together with Roush??
