Isn't it considered "bad" to run a new car hard?
I hope you waited at least 3k miles and changed the oil first.

IMO never buy an auto unless its a V8 (if you enjoy driving)

Well there are a lot of guys from my old Hyundai Tiburon boards(i4=138bhp/v6=172bhp) that go to the drag as well......I'll never figure it out.

You might want to check this out.

http://www.fujita-eng.com/rx8/index.html

Not quite gears but it is the final drive which should help. You can alwasy swap out to 17" wheels too.


I bought a FEED ring and pinion (4.778; stock - 4.44) from JONDEMAND who is a vendor on this forum.
