Picked up my '08 Silver GT Speed 3 yesterday. Trying to get miles on it now for the break in period, but it certainly is grin inducing. This car's fun!

Beavers?

So I gotta ask, what're the beavers? I'm a little worried that I don't know this car as well as my focus, and that I'm gonna be slower at the AX. I guess I can test this ween at the TNT in Winston. I'm psyched.

 

[Sacrilicious]

the beavers are what you think they are...

welcome to the fold! ;o

 

[SharkDiver]

Welcome to the boards./..And incase you are wondering a boost gauge and maybe a intake should be your first mods.Dont touch your boost without having a boost gauge.

Enjoy

Ah yes, the beavers, you'll find about them soon enough. Welcome and have fun

 

[jay579]

Welcome! You're gonna love this car : )

 

[Golin]

Enjoying the car already. My girlfriend laughs at me when I giggle as this car pulls away from an apex.

On that note, any way to increase the length of the torque curve? The engine is just so peaky. Or should I just get used to driving something that revs a little faster than my '01 Focus SE?

This is how it starts! Full torque comes on in 3000s. Try using more of lower rpm when shifting. its a much different power band than you might be used to. There are sooo many qualified people here who have prolly answered most ?s you'll have just search around. yea i still giggle a bit!
