Welcome, crankor!! Ah, the JCW.......driving one of those once made me wonder if "launching" was an automotive term or an aeronautical one. Good stuff!

Thank you for the warm welcome.

I went from an 02 WRX wagon with a modest 224whp roughly 3300 lbs, to this little thing. Hard to compare the power so far but im more then happy. I was tracking my WRX at california speeday interior course, buttonwillow, and streets of willow roughly 5-7 times a year. I plan to do the same with this car after the break in period. So got to poke around and learn some more before I decide what mods if any Im going to do before hitting the track the 1st time. I might not do any and just run her stock and see how she does.

Welcome to the madness!! I vote for black wheels...they're easier to keep clean.

From one JCW owner to another welcome (it's a Bonnet not a hood) congratulations and have fun. As another JCW owner told me "now you get the big smiles"
