Default So I finally caved in and chipped

with ABT T box. First drive . . same reaction as everyone else when they've just chipped their car . . whoa nelly! But I wasn't sure if I liked the throttle feel. After a doing a throttle adapt (thanks to Los Gatos S4), the car feels much smoother now. I'm sure user break-in has a lot to do with it too =). I'm also used to power now, which didn't take very long =P.

So I decided to run against a friend's GS400. He launched first, and me with my passenger, I could not close the gap more than a 1/3 of car's length in second gear. I thought I would pull on him pretty easily, even with a passenger and a lazy launch. Am I doing something wrong? I guess a 300hp GS with paddle shifters and almost the same weight is nothing to sneeze at.

So since I can't get enough, I'm planning on getting a Twin2 exhaust, DTS, and Tanoga short shifter. I guess one mod starts it all.
