Figured we could use this to see who's in the area, or who plans on getting one.

Also, I've been talking to someone with a MK4 on SF who is in the area who may be able to find some mostly stock MK4s to compare against at Darlington Dragway.

I've also spoken to Shift Fast (performance shop in Rock Hill) and they're damned excited to get their hands on one. They'll be doing dyno tuning once JR has figured out what is going to be best to tune with.

Hey! I'm the guy who talked to you and was admiring your car outside of Kure right after you got it from Hendrick in Concord. The wife and I are looking to buy a Absolute Zero White Premium in 2 months and look forward to being part of the MKV community in Charlotte.

Yes! That's awesome! You should definitely go through Hendrick, unless one of the other dealerships in the area will get it to you for under MSRP. There were 3 of us this morning at Cars and Coffee, 2 red and a black. It'll be cool having a white one as well.

I actually picked my MKV up in NC (although I live in NYC). I'll be heading back through NC again later this fall and will be stopping through the Durham area for about a week or so when I do. Glad to hear that there are several more in the area. :)

Oof. I know how the roads are in the city, I drive past to get to CT every year. Also, grew up on the Island.

How's the reactions up there? Lots of people gawking?

Yeah - I know other people have purchased the car up here but from what I've seen it's mostly people buying it in NY and taking it elsewhere (not the other way around). I haven't seen anyone else driving one around in the city yet. Definitely not the best roads to be driving this thing (or any car with a stiff suspension, for that matter) on, though...

Im in the Charlotte Area. Shift Fast and Jr did my Cobb tune on a STI for me several years ago. Glad to hear those guys are still around.

hendrick concord were complete a-holes to me. They wouldnā€™t let me near the thing at first. I asked them if I could test drive it. They said no at first. So I told them to look me up on Toyota finance. Iā€™m guessing they did bc after that, they wouldnā€™t let me leave without buying it.

I left and got a better deal in Raleigh.

I donā€™t care how anyone looks or what they drove in on, you should treat customers like customers and not some kid looking to joyride a Supra.

im a grown ass man and they treated me like crap until they realized I could afford the car.
