Got my M235 finally :)

Its an amazing car. I have not yet taken pics, 8speed auto, alpine white+coral red interior fully optioned.

Austin Yellow M4 was my original choice but I didnt have strong enough credit t get it unless I dropped $20,000 down.

Couple questions,

I barely got the car, ~350 miles, I've been pushing it alot lately, going up to redline... Is this a good idea? should I wait until +1200 miles until I slowly begin pushing it??
Also, when is the launch control feature available?


Also, I am looking at tuning it as well.

Is it better to get the Racechip Ultimate or a

JB4 (or BMS Stage 1) + Performance Intake + Downpipe Gasket??

Which would be overall better and have more HP+Torque delivery?

If you have been pushing it already it's too late for the 1200miles run in period. Also pics!

I will when I wash it. She's so dirty right now I haven't cleaned her.

But lots of rear wheel spin in this car, tires have lots of tread on them too.

Any suggestions?

The LSD solved the wheel spin for me.
