Stripes

Meh. :shrug: They all would look better without some cheap a$$ vinyl tape across them (that you have to pay for, lol) like I'm 18y/o, IMHO. And how in the hell do you wax the thing?

Maybe I'm just jealous?

Mines completely covered in XPEL, so waxing is a thing of the past for me!

I use XPEL's own Sealant, and only has to be applied every couple of months. Other than that, quick washes and detail spray when it is only light dust and it looks just like the day I picked it up ;)

Plus racing stripes/stickers give extra HP, don't you know anything!? :D

Very nice! Btw what did you run at the strip?
Thanks! It is only an 1/8th mile strip unfortunately. I made a number of runs, all utilizing the factory launch control and "Drag Strip" driver mode, but still struggled with the launch. Even with the PSC2's, and using LC at a ton of different rev limits, the best time came with a 2.2 60' and an 8.35 @ 92.6mph.

Ton of potential left there, as I should be able to cut a 1.7-1.8 60'. Next year when I am out I am going to not use LC and turn off traction control completely and leave it to myself. If I can cut a good 60', 7.6-7.7 should be easily attainable with the trap speeds I was getting.

For reference, in MT's testing, they got the R to hit 90mph in 7.2 seconds, and 100mph in 8.5 seconds, so I should be able to pull a 7.6-7.7 at possibly 93-95 mph if I get the launch right.

I know you haven't had the R for too long and it's not modified but, looking forward to your comparison to the GT350.
