Are you running stock tires because with TC on it squals the BFG 255/35 KDW's pretty bad at the top of first but after that it just seems to hold firm. Haven't turned the TC off yet but have only had the car for a few weeks. I love the car just because I can daily drive it in "C" and it is mild and comfy but change it to "S" and hit the pedal and it feels like a totally different car. Missing my 6spd stick less and less everyday.

Ok sorry <end hijack>
Vitamin, i find that driving in'C' is actually worse for your mpg, 'S' mode actually returns better figures believe it or not!! only time i use 'C' is when car is really cold fom start and i dont want to over rev. otherwise it's 'S' permanently, and 'M' when really giving it juice.

ierax...permanently in Dyno mode? i must try it, im not scared of the car, i think i can handle it no probs, but it's the fact that i might overheat it or something. i might check it out some dry night first, just to see.
