Default So i got a new car.
Traded in my g37s. I just put a deposit down for it, and told the salesman if i could check the car out one last time. He kept telling me to take it for a test drive and i decided why not. And all i can say is, the twin turbos on this car make it a BEASTTTTT

Its an '08, haven't taken delivery of it yet, teaser pic for now, more pics on tuesday.

Those are definitely sweet. Are these the ones that have the HUGE brake calipers? Last time I saw one of these I was shocked because I had never EVER seen brakes that big on any other car...and I've seen a good share of bbk's.

Amazing car, the entire interior being covered in leather was mind blowing the 1st couple times I drove one, and the 20k oil change was another mental handicap I had to overcome

Look forward to pics

Very cool! I've seen a few turbo's on the roads, but they're definitely noticeable. Great color, too! Enjoy!

My neighbor had one, he took it in for the 1200 mile service/checkup but after that, it's 20k until they change the oil, google it they go in 20k service intervals, some people do a change every 5k which is probably a waste when the oil capacity is 8.5 or 9 quarts, others change the oil at 10-12k
