i own one. the..er...challenges from being based on an econobox platform can all be addressed. Slow is by far the easiest...intercooler, stage 2 chip, upgraded wga/bov, true cai, and this car is easy above 230 to the wheels. Mine is pushing 25 psi, and it’s not slow :)

The aftermarket (actually, a guy on myg37!) solved this with a box that gets wired in, in order to use the brake lights themselves as blinkers. It works beautifully, and gets rid of the idiotic stock blinkers entirely.

that’s not ralph lauren. it’s karl lagerfeld. ralph lauren is on the left, here, lagerfeld on the right.

or because when he buys one it gets stolen.

No, a cgt
