ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

As with anything mass produced, there will always be a failure rate (mostly by dealers in giving service).Enjoy your car and welcome to the site.

I dont regret buying the car, I do regret paying the price I paid but hindsight is a wonderful thing

A number of reasons, I do not want the attention, I do not want WRX drivers wanting a run all the time, I do not want to be car jacked and when I need the boost it will come in as a nice surprise to potential challengers. It will be hard not having it on as it does say an extra something to everyone else out there but I'll live with it. Besides I can always put one on for a few bucks if it gets to me to much.

Since I have had my car I think I have been challenged about 5 times at the lights.

I blew him away of course, but once I hit the speed limit of 60kph, I backed off and let him fly right by. How good he must be feeling.
