"Best car that has ever been offered for sale in America!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced brake rotors.
Replaced all brake pads.
Replaced over boost sensor.
Replaced shocks.

Car handled by thought control.
Fastest, best handling car I have owned.
Only thing I have driven that beat it was a 5 Series BMW in Germany.
