So I guess I need to change my username...

[CWP_MS3]

Because I can't be That_Chevy_Dude when I traded my chevy in on a brand new 2012 Speed3 this past saturday! Looks like I'm here to stay...

Oh, and I'm sure I don't need to tell you guys this, but that car is effin' awesome!

I'll look into it, but all my money is gone and I'm broke again.

It is just 2 gallons of gas/$25 for the year of VIP Access. Pre-owned parts will save $$$ for you. Oh, and yeah you will want to mod your car, you know it!

Well, I've never really owned a fast car; I've driven tons of fast cars, but never owned one. And my most recent DD was a 1998 V6 Chevy Malibu. :/ So for the moment, the speed is plenty fast. I keep telling myself that I'll leave it stock, but we'll see what happens when I start getting use to it.

[CWP_MS3]

So can I talk to someone about actually changing my user name? Lol...

[Raider]

PM @Darksun280, he is the one who can help you.

[CWP_MS3]

So here it is....

[Raider]

I just love the white.

[CWP_MS3]

I know, I wanted red, but the white is sexy as hell in person. It has like gold flakes in the paint, so its more pearlescent. Looks awesome. I can't wait to tint the windows. I think the tint will compliment the color that much more.

It definitely gets attention though. Had a couple people (and gsxr 600) pull up on me trying to mess with me. I just let them go. At 130 miles, I don't care to dog my car. I've been trying to baby it.

I bought the car right after it rolled off the truck, so I'm the only person to have drove it. 100 miles was accumulated in less than 24 hours. And obviously I got on it a couple times, but I want to give it at least 1k before I get into it again.

i said the same "im not modding my car" line when i picked up my speed. now im partially modded thanks to the MSF devil

[Raider]

The good thing is, there is no "break in", just drive it like you stole it, feed it premium gas, and enjoy.

a rear motor mount will help wheel hop-a lot. It's a gateway drug, though, and leads to intakes, intercoolers, and more.

[leon78]

+1 on white!

Yeah, the wife already knows and is cool about it. Which is nice. She knows not to believe my lies as I've modded every car I've owned.

I'll have to look into that rear mount. Thanks for the tip. I feel like the car puts the power down nicely. Minus first gear. Lol.

Thanks man. The sales manager was telling me the white is a little more rare as this one was the first one they had shipped in. It was the only one they had at the dealership, so I didn't have a lot of options. Not that I needed them. I'm loving the white.

Lol, no kidding. It had 180k, interior was messed up and oil coming from around the head. It was time.

I was thinking 2.0_2_slow to take a stab at the GTI because I work at VW, but I like the WhiteisRite, if you're cool with that. Lmao.

In before @Captain KR claims racism.

Best color choice. I have a black 11 ms3. I would've loved the white but could not wait any longer.

At first I wanted red, but the more I drove the car on the test drive, the more I started loving the white. Plus, red is such a cop magnet, and I don't need that.

[zatara]

Heh, I told myself I would mod the Speed3 once Warranty expired. That promise lasted about 1 month and now I'm pretty much fully bolted for a K04.

[Keko]

Lol same. I wasn't planning on modding for awhile but 1 month after buying it brand new I have mods on the way

[Voltron]

White is the shit, none to be had when I bought mine. As for modding and warranty, all that went out the window as soon as you joined this forum. Fucking place is evil man. Get out while you still can or kiss your money and warranty goodbye.

I'm not sure what it is about crotch rockets and trying to race but I too have engaged a couple twice, not sure what was running through my head at the time, or his.

Either way, a 600 or 750 would hang a stock 3 out to dry. This I know for sure. That's why I let him roll. Not going to lie though.... I did want to give it a go just for shits and giggles.

Others who wanted a shot were a 2006 ish TL type S, and a couple 2006+ mustangs. 1 mustang was trying to shake me on the on ramp. Wonder if he knew I wasn't pushing my car or even trying to keep up with him...? Lol.

[Keko]

Some dick on a crotch rocket pulled up in front of me this morning on my way to work and kept looking back at me. Not sure what he was trying to accomplish. Couldn't get a good look at the bike but I had no chance.

Anyways grats on the white. I love mine, just gotta wash that soot off every week

I've had my Gen2 for over a year and a half and I still think it's plenty fast without any mods. Part of it is probably that, like you, it's my first fast car. The other part probably has something to do with not having driven a manual since the early '90s, and even then it was a four speed. Steep learning curve for me.
