Truth in Ruin

After driving this car for awhile- here are my thoughts:
A lot of people here advise getting a new RMM. My first thoughts were, "yeah, I could see how that may help things." But let me tell you this: this car's shifting did NOT feel too bad at all when I first bought the car, but now it feels terrible; yes, terrible. I'm claiming that the factory RMM (and possibly other mounts) have broken in, and there is noticeable movement in a bad way. It's also worth noting that I have never launched the car, and I've never even put the throttle to floor in first gear yet.

As far as power goes, second gear feels strong (again I don't know how first gear feels yet). Third, and fourth gear feel rather unimpressive to me, and sometimes fourth gear feels like it pulls harder than third, which I find strange.

So far I'm happy with this car, but an aftermarket RMM seems paramount. And I think a stage 1 tune would benefit the car a great deal.

Thanks for reading!
