New Evo owners in Colorado Springs

[Kdogg71]

Greetings! My fiance and I just bought our '06 GG Evo MR a couple weeks ago. We love the car. We're taking it pretty easy to start with...we've wound it out quite a bit (after break-in), but we haven't really tried to launch yet. Besides, the terrain here makes it such that there aren't many opportunities to try out the 2-step...at least not during daily driving, heh. Oh well...we just want to get used to the car before we start trying to push it.

Great to meet everyone! We look forward to a lot of fun...in the car, and here on the boards.

Excellent. Glad to have another Evo in the Springs, especially a GG MR (the best, of course).

Be sure to stay abreast of upcoming events, and let me know if you have any questions. I have a garage, tools, and spare parts for when you decide to start modding. I can also help with launch techniques, shifting pointers, and general racing tips.

Awesome...thanks!

We keep talking about mods...we both keep leaning toward staying with stock parts for now. We dropped in a K&N air filter, but that's it, so far. The warranty isn't a big deal to us, but being able to handle whatever we end up doing to it very much is a big deal. I'm used to understeer and shifting weight to throw a front-drive through a corner...this AWD thing is kinda new for me.

In any case, we're excited to see the other Evo's around here, so we'll definately stay up on the events that take place in the area.

btw, did you see a GG MR on Briargate a weekend or two ago...maybe heading toward Rangewood?

Don't remember ever seeing another GG Evo in the Springs. I thought I was the only one for a while.

Too bad you missed out on the NASA track event this weekend at PMI. You could have spectated or ridden with me to get an idea of how to drive one of these things. I put down some wicked lap times, so I think I'm a pretty good example to follow. There will be more to come, though...

[Kdogg71]

That would have been great...I wish I'd been in town. I'd love to ride along with someone with some real experience behind the wheel.
