Last one on bat only bid to 43k. 2800 miles just a few days ago.. Market has substantially softened.
I just added my name to my local dealers list a few weeks ago and they called me with a boost blue incoming already everyone bailed on for msrp + cf wing.
Trust me I’m with you. It’s why I held off on a gtr so long. That was like the first auto car I owned and took me almost buying one multiple times before I caved. But eventually I’ve ran through all the manuals I could afford. Now I’m circling back. Lol
Ya I mean this is a fair take. For me I’ve just owned so many auto/dct cars as of late I just yearned for a manual. The rs3 is on paper better in just about every way. It just can’t be tuned, and not manual.
Definitely depends on what you want out of it. Also where you live id imagine. Like for you you felt an m4 was too fast for the street but for me, I don’t get that feeling until like an 8 second car haha. I had a built motor, nismo turbo gtr that was a 9 sec car and it was plenty usable here...
@Jester04 thoughts are pretty similar to mine. I think the grc is more raw, and feels a good bit less polished, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending what you’re looking for. It’s a bit more visceral, which leads to some level of excitement and enjoyment.
It does have a lot of...
Actually bought a DE5 this morning ?. Told myself whichever I found first fl5 or de5 I’d snag.
Now I just need the tuning to be available and I’ll get rolling.
So far really like it
Lol. I love to rehash the old days.
I’ve owned over 100 cars at this point. I love all cars. Trying to own everything lol Some recent ones and an oldie.
nice. I might DM you because I’m possibly moving down there.
i remember the PR guys killing it back in my early Subaru days. 2002-2004 or so. Gadiel tuning had a bunch of ? cars back then.
Nice. I actually have a deposit on a 24 trx. Current daily is a 22x3m which is a blast.
as for the fwdthing, I havent Driven any of the modern stuff so wasn’t sure if traction control has come far enough on these platforms to combat sone of these issues.
like on gtr’s they can tune the factory...
This is good input.
It is looking like fbo + e50 might be about where I’d want to be on this car. Or small upgraded turbo
I can definitely tell you from experience I’ve built many of cars where I crossed the line and wished I stopped sooner. Lol For example my last gtr. Was nearly perfect in...
I’m asking for real world impressions and opinions on owning a car like I describe. Not advice on what parts I might need.
Do you drive a 400-500whp type r? If so are you happy with how it drives? If not why? Do you wish you stopped at fbo?
This is useful to me, to hear from people, before I...
Thx.
That’s fair. But most questions regarding usability or shops to trust to carry out such a build could probably carry over from the fk8. Maybe in hindsight that sub forum might have been better to post in.
I did see that hondata post.Very good results and excited to see where that goes.
Hey thanks. But I didn’t mention budget at all, or what mods are needed. Just interested in specifically what I asked which should be pretty straightforward.
Im more so interested in the limits of this platform and where people who’ve been down this road find the car becomes unenjoyable or...
