Hello! New CR owner here. Just picked up an '08 GPW from a nice couple up in Washington. We had a nice drive back to Denver to get acquainted, and I have to admit, this car is too nice for the likes of me... lol

I've been building/racing for a long time now in the SCCA/NASA, and NHRA. This usually prohibits the income challenged like myself from having an enjoyably nice car. But I finally got out of the Air Force, and joined the civilian ranks allowing me to squeeze in a ride that has interior and no dents

On to pictures! It's #34 in GPW(which is coincedentally my traditional 'racing numbers' since I began, so it's meant to be... lol









I'll be leaving it mostly alone. I may prep it for A-Stock, but I'd like to keep it molestation free(unlike my poor other cars) for as long as possible. However, some BBS LM's are definitely on the horizon...

I personally like it. A good friend has an '06 with the OEM knob and desires mine over his.

downsides, it can get hot in the summer and gets very hot in direct sunlight.

it does sit a bit lower than the non-CR OEM and may shorten, very little, the geometry.

on the other hand, I really think something like a shift knob is probably a personal choice.

lol, The hardtop is very nice...

But perhaps it would look better on a black car that traded me for a white one...

You should 'try it on' sometime bud!

I'm actually going to sew up an Alcantara cover with yellow stitching, to match the other trim in the car, for the all metal shift knob. The one in my 02M got way too hot when parked in direct sunlight and I know this one is going to be much worse. The cover will come and go as the weather/conditions require, but for day to day use in the summer, it'll probably stay covered. Hope I know where the gears are by now...

Calling all CR owners, who are into Solo 2 (Autocross).
What your best mods to your stock CR to improve your time?
E.g. Stiffer front sway bar?

Need some suggestions on mods to my CR.
Thanks for your inputs.
