New owner, smiling from ear to ear

WOW, I fricken love this car! I bought it a week ago in LA for almost 28k. I've never seen one like it. Black with two-tone black/grey int. I only wish more people knew about the car. It only turns the heads of hardcore enthusiest. My first race was against an SVT Mustang. His car was pretty quick much closer than I thought. He ended up at my rear wheel, then we had to ease up due to traffic.
What do you guys run as far as air pressure in your tires? I am excited also cause I got a connection at a local dealership, friend is service mgr. Oil change including parts and mobil 1 $38. I had to replace valve cover gasket, steering gasket and both motor mounts parts & labor less than $200. I was also able to pick up an extended warranty for $2500. 3yr. Finally I get a break. My old Lexus, the dealer hated me and raped my pocket book at every chance they got.

Anyway, glad to be here.

congradulations!! welcome aboard, we've had alot of new additions.

for PSI tipically 32-38PSI is the proper pressure, normally u run slightly higher up front than rear. I usually run 35PSI up front and 32 out back for a slightly softer ride but its totally up to you. you got a steal on those motor mounts. I need to get those done as well.

anyways congrats and we hope you have fun here

welcome to the club HKRick! i too just got mine about 2 weeks ago, same combo as yours. how many miles you got on it?

yea, i agree, if people knew the potential of these cars.... but i also like the "under the radar" effect, as cops don't know how fast these cars are! total sleeper they are...

I also run 33psi all the way around. I will probably drop the rears down to 25psi when I go to the track in a few weeks to help with traction.
