My 2008 C2S is now a year old. I have 14,300 miles on it. It has become my daily driver. It has had zero issues. The kids fit, and the golf clubs fit. It is easy to drive around town and in traffic. It also great on long drives and for hard driving. It is actually smoother at 140mph than at 80. I love the X51 engine option; it revs hard to red line and pulls away from standard C2S with ease.

It has a new suspension from GMG (H&R springs and GMG GT3RS sway bars) that was installed in March. I also got an aggresive alignment from GMG. I did not intend to track the car, so I went with the simpler spring option. I am pleased with the work and support from GMG, but I would say that the springs are not the ultimate solution. I like it, but it isn't perfect. The sway bars are AWESOME though. On smooth or predicatable surfaces, the turns in sharply, tracks through corners cleanly, and can be throttle steered.

It also has Michlin PS2s now. Initially, I did not like the PS2s and posted here about it. Ultimately, I played with the tire pressures and found 2 additional PSI per tire worked for me. I will try another tire when these wear out based on my personal preferences. Please don't crucify me for this opinion.

The future: I have always intended to get the Dension iPod kit and will get to it eventually. I think Damptronics are in the future. I also want to put in a Quaiffe LSD. The last twelves months have been interesting business-wise so these projects will happen when events permit. If things go real well......

Bottom line, this is the BEST car I have ever owned. Thanks!
