    Default The new whip

    Some of you may remember my Copper Mazda 6 & my turbo RX7. Well, it was time to let those go and get one car that satisfied my needs that those both filled. After some researching and headbanging, I settled on a 2013 Corsa Blue Optima SX 2.0t. It is fully loaded with the tech package and other stuff. All I have to say is that I freaking love this car. Right now I am enjoying it in stock form, but future plans are to lower, wheels, intake, exhaust & a tune....

    I loved that FC but I understand the need to get a grown-up car

    that FC was dope- but FC's have always been one of my all time favs.

    I don't know much about that car but I've seen some of those new turbo Kia's in the parking lot at work. I'm guessing it's like a 2.0T FWD car? That LCD panel in the middle looks cool. For the BMW chip mods, they can hack those to do all sorts of cool stuff. Surely there will be something like that for you eventually, since your car just came out.

    They have a programmer like the Cobb AP. Gains from it are very respectable.

    Nice choice. I had to buy a new car for my wife recently, and the best deals out there were either the Optima or the Hyundai's. I like that the Optima is made in GA, and looks better than a lot of other choices. I hope you got them to boost the warranty up on yours, I got the 200K powertrain and 100K bumper-to-bumper warranty on mine.

    Is your old FC still floating around GA?

    Congrats on the "sophisticated" choice of land travel.

    Those are respectable numbers. I drove one of these, and I really liked it. Congratulations.
