I sold my G today. What a great car, I enjoyed driving it so much. It's been great reading about all the mods everyone has done, and doing some things myself. This board was a great resource for answering technical questions, DIY's and drooling over somebody's new set of rims. Best of luck to you all, I will probably still visit the F1 thread from time to time.

 

What new car did you get into? Are you going to be in Austin this November? If so get in touch with me.

 

2013 Tesla Model S. Unfortunately it's going to be a few weeks until it gets delivered. 0-60 in 3.9s when fully charged.

Yeah man, got it locked down. Hotel, airfare and race tickets. I'll PM you my email and details. We're staying on 6th street downtown so there should be plenty to do. But I've never been to TX before so not really sure.

 

Enjoy the Tesla! Have read and seen very good reviews on them

 

Boom, finally got the car. It's f#$%^ fast. Best car I've ever driven by a long shot.

 

Nice! Love those cars...

 

^Sweet ride. My brother-in-law has one but he did not get the sport wheels. Car is crazy fast...

 

Thanks guys. The only problem I'm having right now is a bit of a cold sweat when I drive it from being so on edge. The car handles extremely flat and balanced because there's a few thousand pounds of batteries along the entire floorboard. It weighs 4600 pounds but snaps your neck when you hit the "gas" pedal.

I didn't get the performance wheels, those are CV4's. A forum member on the TMC site bought the stocks on the second day I had the car (yesterday).

 

Congrats. Big upgrade I'm sure.

 

Ahh, the CV4's look great! Trying to convince my brother-in-law to go a similar route as he does not seem too excited with the stock wheels (19's). Tastefully done!

 

What are your new wheel specs, if you don't mind me asking?

 

20x9" with 35 offset. Relatively skinny tires, 245/40ZR20 with an XL load rating. You can also put a staggered setup if you like, but I don't know what people are using in that case. Can't remember exactly what hub rings were used but they fit perfectly. I've seen a Tesla with 22" Vossen wheels, but I didn't want to sign up for the tire expense. The Model S has a 2 degree rear camber so owners are reporting about 6k miles for a set of rears. I really thought the 19" stocks let the car down.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the info!! I agree that the stock 19's leave more to be desired, performance wise.

 

Very nice!!!!

My company has been heavily researching EV charging stations, so I would be very interested to hear more of your feedback about living with an EV, and the challenges you personally face (if any) with not being able to fill up the tank at the local Shell.

 

Nice car! Congratulations on the pruchase. I have been researching Teslas and they really sound like good cars. I have yet to test drive one which is prbably a good thing. I tend to buy to many cars.
