From my understanding the 2010 model was 2 seconds faster b/c of the LSD addition. So not sure if they are saying the 2011 is now 2 seconds faster than the 2010 with the suspension changes or they are quoting the same figure.

Gengar- are you saying the "spider web" wheels are 18"ers and the "blade" ones are 19"?

I thought they were both the same size, but haven't really looked at the specs.

No no no, the new wheels are 19" just like the old. I did not quote but was responding to earlier posters who said that reducing the psi on the pre-'11 models would reduce ride harshness. In my experience, going from 19" to 18" wheels improves harshness without having to reduce psi, so just wanted to throw that out there as an alternative.

The spiderweb design looks a lot better in person, but the original blade design still tops it.

i most definitely like the sport button, the previous one was so hidden and for no reason. the new wheels are horrible at best, not a fan at all

I thought the spiderweb wheels were added for 2010. Why are we calling them new for 2011?
