Turning off the redline beep (!)
Can you do this somehow? I test drove the car and it beeps every time I was somewhere around redline. is this necessary? I see why it's there bc you can easily rev too high and maybe not know, but it's pretty annoying during spirited driving.
My girl was in the car and thought I was doing something wrong. I told her it's supposed to do that when you drive it fast and she says, "Yeah. Well that's real annoying."

A nice step up!!!
Drive in 3rd gear at 9000RPM for 60 seconds while holding down the trunk release button and the DSC off button at the same time. Yeah, I think that is what shuts that off.

Lets hope she doesn't complain about something on the 8 being too small....just kidding man
I'd say of all the quirks of this car, the last thing I would be worried about is a beep at redline.

You know what annoying is? My gf's '01 Celica GTS in reverse..."BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP"
Edit:
But on a good note, it is a 6spd. Girls that drive manual = sexy IMO.

edit: just read another post you wrote you have a 3 month old '8'. Sorry, but I thought maybe you were an s2000 owner AND your girl was too.

Dorthy - "You made it beep, You are a very bad man."
I remember a friend telling me his girlfriend complained his driving made her carsick. "RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!"
