Temps rose to 40 today 
, got out the simichrome polish for the exhaust trumpets, polished them and drove to get a C7 print dry mounted for the garage wall then back home. The 'summer' run flats don't like low temps too well. No traction below 40.

i was planning to wait until 2015 but after i found out the RC didnt get a power bump that means the 2015 IS wouldnt get it so the desire to wait dropped since I was holding out for a power bump.

The standard model with the Z51 package and NPP exhaust will still give you 460 HP. It's what I have on mine and don't need more with 0-60 in the mid 3's with the A6 tranny. 4100 miles on her now and have loved each one
