True that. I think I could do a CR-Z for a daily (sporty hybrid ftw) and then a E92 M3 for the weekends or something along those lines. Mitzi can have her MDX or whatever the hell she wants

i like the sound of that...those v8's just scream with exhaust.

i have to be honest though guys, in terms of dreams, i would want a TT gallardo. the works, and it would never see pump gas. i would SOOOOO rock the full 1600hp at all times.

I'd totally rock that setup. I came real close to pulling the trigger on an MDX for the wifey as our main family vehicle. The 3rd row is almost useless though and doesn't leave any cargo room. Got too many kids for that vehicle...doh. Ended up going with a Traverse which is actually a pretty decent rig.

I changed my mind. I want a 2G CTS-V for daily duties and a Aventador for the weekends

I'll be keeping the TL for as long as possible.

Someone did that to me at the airport, except I didn't have enough room to open my driver's side door more than ~4" (if I could have even squeezed through there to try. I'm a big guy). After I crawled in through the passenger's side and moved my vehicle, I ensured that person would later regret their decision of being a dick.

Last time someone did that to me (but literally 2" from the side of my car) I nicely removed one of their hubcaps and threw it in the bushes.

^^This......

My fleet after I'm done with getting this house will be the TL as a project car, an NSX-T for fun and a E class or truck for family purposes.

The Camry was gone by the time I got back to my car

Anyways, I took the car out for a little spin and did a few full throttle vids. I don't punch it too often but it was over 70 degrees here today so I had the windows down and was enjoying the ATLP music.

As you'll see, I don't know how to launch a car without spinning tires. I'm no Mario Andretti.

Nice vid Tyler and nice tire spin...sounds good as usual too! Now if you get the crank pulley, it will rev quicker and just take off! Peer pressure FTMFW!

Oh yeah...and I want an Aventador too. 691hp, AWD, stealth fighter looks, and a push button start with a flip cover...FAWK YEEAAHHH!!

Oh wait...nevermind.

Doesn't that have to do with how you're driving at the time, like if you're punching it, the ECU will adapt and shift differently? Isn't that what the ECU relearn thing helps with?

Oh...no doubt, our cars are always much more awesome and fun for rolling starts.

But I still think it's odd your rpms shift so low.

Thanks Zach! Yeah I want the crank pulley but I haz no monies.

I saw two Aventadors in person at SEMA last year and pictures do that car no justice. It's breathtaking.

Wtf, that can't be right. It shifts that early? Reset your ECU and punch the gas a few times.

Yeah this was probably the second or third time I had ever punched it from a full stop. I love going 10 or 20 and then nailing it, especially in a tunnel.

Zelaya you had never seen that before? Just go to the website and download the pdf. There are two forms for each 8x11 piece of paper. Just cut down the middle and enjoy

Yeah Anil you need to get that checked. Whenever I reset my ECU, which isn't very often btw, I floor it a few times and then casually cruise around.

Sport shift? Or do what Tyler says. These ECUs are smart, they learn how you drive.

well IMO, i thought it was normal....why, coz the minute you hit VTEC your gas mileage is toast....so if you drive like a grandma the ECU learns and does the 1-2 shift for you (in SS mode)....

well guess i was mistaken or monitored it subconsciously....this will be top on my list when i start driving again....

yeah...SS 100% of the time....yeah i usually dont punch it maybe the ECU forgot how to shift 1-2 near redline LOL....
