Welcome to the forums and thank you for your service. I'm sure you will greatly enjoy the car. I know I love mine and every time I drive it puts a smile on my face.

Insane deal you were able to pull there. But how many miles on it and with what pkgs?

I would recommend keeping the TC and VSC on until you actually visit a track or drag strip. Though it's fun stepped out on a corner once in a while, you don't wanna end up doing it into traffic!

Welcome, and enjoy your stay!

If you like the sound of your car I suggest you to buy the F-sport air intake, the sound is wonderful.

I actually didnt even know it but it has a K&N "Typhoon Intake System"...actually a pretty fitting name since i live in the Pacific and it sounds pretty amazing. I think a exaust is next. Right after i retint it a little darker.
