Okay, I got my car yesterday and I don't even see why they have a VDC! The car doesn't have enough low end torque to accidentally lose control. You have to be driving the hell out of it for it to get out of shape. I just hate you have to physically turn it of every time you get in the car.

VDC off, not paying enough attention taking a turn into my neighborhood (going a little too fast), swerve, swerve again, and scratched bumper. I got lucky, learned my lesson. I'll leave it on until i have time to learn how to drive it w/o vdc. This is my first rwd car and first sports car.... sooooo umm.....

That being said, i need a clean and subtle front lip.....any suggestions?

Oh, me too!
I want a penny for everyone who doesn't know the difference between their/there/they're, brake/break, your/you're, pedal/peddle, heel/heal and when to use an apostrophe s.

For example: Racer's say they put the ball of there foot on the break peddle and use the side to blip the throttle. This will help you when when your using heal and toe for downshifting.

Make me an instant millionaire.
