@ostreds well thats where the less power shows

@pier456 when u got the cash to spend wtf cares about weight, sound and a violent ride is what counts, resale value, gas mileage, or insurance cost or crashing is the last of any consideration

[leonzr1]

@pier456 15 grand lost is worth every penny after driving wide open with the sound of a supercharged BBC instead of a pissy azz whine of a turbo

TAKE THAT 458 ITALIA AND GT3 RS!

if he did the straight faster, he would have beaten the ZR-1 see the video:

@calidude1114 I've heard from another '12 GS owner that the MSRC feels like its from another planet.

[calidude1114]

@xabipp Yes it came with it as well as the LT4 package so I got all the bells and whistles.

@calidude1114 Sounds to me that you are having a big grin on your face already!

Did you opt for the magnetic selective ride control?

@xabipp Thanks! It's a 2012.
