30k miles of daily driving over the last year in my PP GT. I wouldn't trade it for an automatic, period. Just so much more fun and involving. But then, I don't drag race (or street race). I enjoy corners. :)
I haven't had any issues with my MT82 over that time, though I did replace the stock...
I would suspect that a decent exhaust shop could modify it to work. They'd probably need to weld a Y pipe on the back of the corsa mufflers to interface with the tips in the valance. They might need to move things around a bit for clearance, though? :shrug:
QFT. I can't stand how oblivious/uncaring the drivers are out here... It's an everyday struggle not to be an asshole. Love so much about Utah - HATE the drivers.
Was still in the air on the jacks when he gave it gas. The drivers cannot spin the drive wheels until they are on the ground. Hence the drive-through penalty that just cost him the race. Just impatient.
Another vote for a manual here for the reasons listed above. Plus - tires. Tires. Seriously - I went through one storm with my DWS06 A/S since my winter wheels/tires hadn't arrived yet - the difference is night and day. And the DWS06 are one of the better rated A/S for snow... yeah, they still...
Is this smell kind of like burnt plastic/rubber almost? Not quite oil? I can't quite think of how to describe it, but my car gets this fairly often, and not always after driving WOT. I've been debating taking it in, but oil levels are good, etc... :shrug:
Yes, they do clear the PP Brembos. I got them from American Muscle during their Cyber Monday sale.

They were ridiculously cheap during that sale.
I need to take some snow pics, but here is mine with my winter wheels/tires. Daily driven - and I get up hills that FWD/AWD cars slide down with all seasons. I wish more people understood - it's all about tires!

I could get past a lot if that lower grill/bumper area actually matched the rest of the car... The spoiler and the rear lights are fine, but that lower front fascia just does NOT seem at all related to the lines of the rest of the car... Makes keeping my '16 until the S650 easier...
