Suzuka Blue that is!
The Spa Yellow lease is up and we've replaced it with this Suzuka for Fran. I'm back in my Silverstone 2000 for the duration of that lease

What--- no red? (j/k)
Congrats Colin... so when are we going to get her past the break-in point?
I'm also curious as to how the MY04 compares to your good ol' MY00?

Looking good Colin! So what are you going to do when your other S's lease is up?

Well, it's too early to really comment on the engine power, but it's definately stronger down around 3000 RPM. VERY noticable. I should point out that I personally had any qualms about keeping the engine around 4000 RPM on the old car. That's essentially how it feels. 3000=4000 RPM. I do notice that the RPM seems to drop slower between shifts, maybe there's a heavier flywheel?
The new gearbox is also pretty smooth, I guess the CF synchros really help. No comment on the suspension cause it just feels like a new car. I'd imagine that the '00 felt like this when it was brand new. Ooops, got customers, gotta run....
