Re: R1 + random pics
On the FBW issue...
Porsche seems to be the only company that has figured out how to make that ---- work without the laggy bullshit. I have only seen one issue with their system and it was not the fault of the FBW, but an idiot who fucked with it, not knowing what they were doing. Fairly reliable system, with multiple power loss backups.
Every other car ive ever driven, clearly had awful throttle lag. But ive yet to drive a porsche that didnt feel like my foot was connected to the throttle plate.

Uprev has hacked the 350Z ECU. For $800 they sell dyno-tested reflashes which don't really make any power but correct the stock Fail-by-Wire tables. VQ35 owners everywhere are eating that ---- up and think it's worth every penny.

Re: R1 + random pics
What do you guys think about this one? he said 7500 lowest but i think i can lowball him to about 72-73

Even if i pay 750 i basically paid 200 bucks more than what i sold my bike for, get a Raven edition R1 in black, the color i originally wanted, has a few more modifications, chomes wheels and etc, and has 2300 less miles. Good deal?
