My new toy

Post by Gary Boxall »

Picked this up from the dealer yesterday afternoon. My wife asked me if I'm having a midlife crisis? Who cares with this to drive around in :lol:

Those are fast!

Had a buddy meet me at DFW in one of those. He showed me 65 MPH in the 500 feet between the parking lot and the toll booth.

Much quicker than a Sherman!

They are quick, but their cornering sbilities are out of this world. Lors of electronic and mechanical diff rrickery makes this an amazing country road car.

Was it you who had a kid who would improve that cornering ability by pumping the tires up to 90PSI?
