    Feels slower than 400bhp

    Like others have said, it's the power band. The 718 Cayman S has the turbo 2.5L right (IIRC just the GTS and GT4 have the NA 4.0)? I test drove many 981s and 718s over the years and I actually really enjoyed the turbo 4s. They're so fun to throw into turns and kick out the rear. I have a tuned...

    The watches thread

    Been eyeing the Seiko 5 Sports for a while now. Pulled the trigger on this Pepsi colorway version today. Really happy with it.. especially since I had some rebate gift cards to spend (thanks Continental Tires) and my out of pocket cost was only ~$65. 😎 Even at full price, this watch is...

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    I've been running Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on my daily driven and occasional HPDE track day GTI and absolutely love them. Low dust, low noise, and great bite. Haven't driven them crazy hard, but I never had any brake fade instances with them. Looking forward to eventually upgrading the stock dusty pads...

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    Exactly the same reason they released it with less power than it's predecessor. Slap in the face to the customers IMO.

    Yeah, my GT revs to 7200 in sport mode.

    Going beyond 7k RPM: A Thread

    Olympic Motorsports has posted some dyno videos tuning Evoras. I know some of them are revving past 7k.

    Out of state US emira purchase

    I've bought many vehicles out of state from private sellers and dealers and I always do my own title/tag work here in DE. Even when I bought my brand new VW from a PA dealer, I negotiated away their BS doc fee and did title work myself and transferred my own plate.

    New colours available in Canada for the 2025 V6, available for a limited time, must be ordered by the end of February.

    Remember when they told us it was impossible to get accurate pictures of the FE colors? And then told us the pics were coming.. for months.. and months.. and then just never came until a forum members went to the factory and took video and pics themselves?

    And welcome to the forum! 🎉😎

    Bumper paint

    Removing the bumper cover isn't bad and will allow the shop to do a better job without risking overspray. The parking sensors should easily be recalibrated by a qualified shop (if it's even needed).

    New colours available in Canada for the 2025 V6, available for a limited time, must be ordered by the end of February.

    Yeah, they're available in the US too. Lotus of New London CT advertised them last week. The renders are pretty bad tbh. Here's a shot with a couple paint samples.

    New Owner in South Jersey

    Even the Goodyear F1s shouldn't be driven below 40. It's not just a grip issue, but the compound can break down and crack. Neither the Cup2s or the F1s (or PS4s or ECS02s or any extreme summer tires) should be driven or stored below 40. I bought DWS06s for winter and store my summer wheels...
