We did all the suspension development for one of the Koni Cup Grand Am teams running these cars.

Porsche note: Sold the 996 last week. It's okay. I made a decision to go after a fully prepped track toy. Lately, I have been really pushing my levels at the track. And to continue doing this, I need the appropriate tool.
In the meantime, meet my new company car. A new 2008 VW GTI four door. Man, this thing is a hoot to drive. Fun, functional and gets 22mpg around town to boot.
Options:
SAT radio

yada, yada, yada...
Chad, good choice there! When I sold my 951 earlier this year, I seriously considered a GTI or GLI...but, for a DD I didn't want to come out of pocket more than $10k, so I got an Infiniti I35. I was beyond impressed with the VW, it felt every bit the car as my wifes Benz C350 (not quite as fast), but, funny thing happened the other day, she started hinting getting rid of the Benz, so we may have a VW in the mix soon too! What's the build date of your car? The newer (better IMO) TSI version of the 2.0 is in the newer 08's. The DSG in the VW blows the ***** off our neighbors Cambiocorsa - awesome trans.
Congrats Chad, great choice.
Back in the day, I got a new white '83 GTI , great little car.
Here's my A3 version of your car, also DSG of course, it's been perfect for about 18mos and almost 20k miles (with a bunch of those miles near redline).
Great choice. I bought my son an '08 6 speed GTi for his 16th birthday in May. He and I had a deal that if his grades and attitude were great, he could get a new car. I bought it two months before his birthday so he could learn the 6 speed. I drove it downtown to the office everyday and loved it. What great steering, handling and gearbox. The Top Gear review explains it well. Jeremy Clarkson loved it. Super choice. He is off to Embry Riddle for a week class next week, so guess what I am driving next week?
Thanks all...Like I said, for a DD car, it is a complete hoot to drive. I am loving it. I can completely see why all the Auto rags out there are raving about it.
In the meantime, I am hunting for a 944S2. Mileage under 120K preferred. This is the start to my full prepped track car.
C.
Shhhh...easy on the VW praise, like I said we may still get one, popularity drives price
I've got a good friend who does DE at TWS here in Texas with a 944S2, he may be interested in selling for an Exige. Let me know if you're interested
Awesome!
When you get into mods, go talk to my buddy Richard Barker at OEM Plus

No financial link, but I do provide a lot of his product photography, and I know he has access to a whole load of European items that are not generally available in the US VW Market.
Nice! We did all the suspension development for one of the Koni Cup Grand Am teams running these cars. If you want to know what works... gimme a shout.
