Default E Shift (Kind Of Long)

So I finally utilized my manual mode for the 1st time since I picked her up. I must say SHE IS EXPLOSIVE!!! She responds very quickly and I was truly amazed of the way she pulls through the streets as I whizzed by other cars! I love breaking her by downshifting, she sounds great! I know it might be old to some of the veterans' here but, it's just another happy testament to an already great automobile. I'm glad that I've purchased her. I don't ever want to part with my baby!!!

I like the 'bighead' guy above who didnt use any punctuation lol and Firefox is your friend

and yea, I have to admit, I Love the sound of an open intake. I only have a drop in K&N with the slide cover slightly open to let some sound out... so pretty, now if only I can find a lite exhaust that sounds the same to compliment it with some harmony

Hey no critics allowed for punctuation lol! Where are we...relaxin' on a car forum or are we at work/school!!!!!??? The intake has a nice tone but around here, the police don't like the exhaust noise. They issue summons' like there is no tomorrow!!! Now if I lived on LI, I could have a Chevy Chevelle SS with straight pipes and everything is just peachy!!!

well as stated, lookin for a 'lite' exhaust The GS aint no ricer! I grew out of loud exhaust, plus my other car is loud enough. I'd like to get something no louder than the stock exhaust on like the 350z. Its clean, and almost unable to be heard on the inside.

and as for punctuation critique, I was being nice... that is probably my first time too. Many, including myself, dont like to have to read something 4 times to understand what was trying to be said. and with some of the engrish that floats around here, not sure if its engrish or just improper typing. IMO, bad english is easier to read than a run-on sentence

No doubt the GS ain't no ricer...although a mild exhaust rumble would be appreciated especially when you E SHIFT THIS BABY!!!! Gonna start using it more often!!!!

I agree, bad english or improper typing can bug me, but is more forgiving than run-on sentences. Run-On sentences suck! ! LOL
