It's awesome in wet weather, though I freaked the first time I nailed it on a wet road and got wheel hop.
I don't like limits... I will limit myself if need be.

Yeah, it hasn't slowed me down, but I'm sorta in tune with the power band now too.
But, ya know, it's not my job to sell anyone on it... I just love my car.

An aftermarket tune will always fix this sort of thing.

I have put the speed3 at the bottom of the list but it's not off the list like some others.

Yeah, I've wondered if it could just be chipped differently, but unfortunately I can't do anything like that for mine.
Lease = no mods
