Congrats on the car! Looks way more aggressive without a front license plate.

I clicked on the wrong face when I started the thread. I thought I corrected it but the smiley only shows up after you click on the title.

You're the only other person that I know of who has logged a decent amount of miles.

You definitely want to wait a good couple of miles and let them get up to temperature, before thrashing it. BIG difference in grip.

Once you've done your break in mileage, I'm sure you will notice the traction control going all crazy. That's normal
