Eh there's always a thousand things that can cause random noises but I'd probably say yeah to brake pads on this one

Brake pads could be placed unevenly causing unnecessary contact with the rotor when not being applied. Check your rotors too though if you’re replacing the brake pads.

Voila. Torque readings were all over the place due to the cars lockdown switch being activated along with him having to get the readings from somewhere other than the coil pack. It spun a little on the dyno he also mentioned due to the traction control flashing during the pull. One thing he noted is that my torque curve definitely can be higher as he had to ease into the throttle late in the powerband so he wouldn’t activate the kickdown. This is also after driving the car 40 minutes just to get to him without it cooling down in 83 degree Florida weather, and the numbers aren’t in any order. Each pull generated more and more hp/torque (which i assume is from him feeling more comfortable with the pulls). I’m overall satisfied.

There's nothing subjective about how good a GT3 sounds as it approaches its 9,000 RPM redline.

Took this out for a spin yesterday. Didn’t get a chance to really push it on the highway but this thing pulls hard. Very little turbo lag because of the electric motors. Put it in sport+ And the suspension and steering firm up dramatically. One of the major complaints people had was cabin noise at around 80-85 mph but I wasn’t able to get it there on residential roads. Tech is a little basic but the console is all touch screen. It’s definitely a contender.

^ Nice! I'm hearing of people snagging these up for as little as $1,350 a month. For that price, I'd be all over it.

This one was a pretty basic build. None of the cf extras. Just the technology pack so a relatively low sticker price. The only thing I would want would be the carbon ceramic brakes. They still wanted a lot for the lease but I’ve been quoted less for higher spec builds but out of state.

Nice! I'm so tempted to ship my car to SoCal just so I can drive it on some of the roads down there. Are you planning on doing Targa Trophy? http://targatrophy.com/.

If you dont like crappy sounding expensive cars your a child apparently.
Leave it to the children on NT to say that a 4 liter flat 6 sounds like "crap"

I have a friend who's been searching far and wide and so far has only gotten 1890 per month plus tax. That's with the 30k rebate through Acura and an additional 10k dealer discount. Let me know if you've found someone who beats it because he's looking to do it before the end of the year. That was for a 190k msrp car.
Also, I got a clay/wax and the 5 is looking pretty good. I need a drop bad, but the only springs out right now are H&R which I really hate. Or AC Schnitzer which Is a bit too grandpa for me. In photos the blue flakes really pop, but in person it can look pretty much pitch black. I love the color. Very similar to my Jerez Black E90 M3.

Quick pull i did after my JB4 install with just the Map 2 93 Octane. The Map 6 allows me to refine settings optimized for the car after i run some logs. I’m pretty happy with the results and the car pulls stronger.

u must be confusing what a ricey whip with a huge canister pipe sounds like vs a genuine piece of performance machinery.
people love a great sounding engine...da newer euro brands even pump that into da stereos to simulate a better acoustic experience.
