Yes, traction in front drivers is a challenge. Basic physics is working against you. But, if you ever get into demolition derby, you have the perfect setup!

I've had my ITS about a year now. I was not, am not, and never will be a front drive fan. That said, I like the car as a daily driver with the capacity for some fun driving also. I have a long experience with rear drive cars on the street and track. I've had too many, but my ownerships included...

I've been driving over a half century and, until this car, never damaged a wheel. These ridiculous low-profile tires are a disaster, and there is no performance need for them (look at race tires). I have curbed two of mine since buying the car 10 months ago. I know, it is indeed driver error...

Yes, it does look that way, but some separations can give that appearance as well. If it were contacting something I believe you would have found it. Regardless of any alignment issue, I think it's possible that you have a bad tire.

I think that both camber and toe settings, along with heat could cause this type damage, but I believe it would have to be more extreme that -3.5. I used to run that much on an M3 and had nothing more than some accelerated inside wear expected. Looks like some separation going on, and I would...

I always leave it in gear and seldom use the parking brake. In fact, about the only time I use it is if, for some reason, I want to stop but leave the engine running. I don't like electric actuated e brakes. I know that I'm paranoid about it, but if the battery dies then you can't move the car...

I don't know how much this stuff costs, but I'm reminded of the old saying, "the perfect solution to a nonexistent problem!"

Okay, I got my car to do this "shake". If I shut it down, then turn the wheel just enough to set the column lock (which you can feel and hear), then it will unlock with the next ignition engagement, and you can hear and feel the same shake. If you shut it down and do not touch the steering...

I've had my ITS about a year, and it has never done this. Maybe the lane departure thing is involved, as I never use it.

You should have it diagnosed, especially since you mentioned the other unusual noise it made. With hydraulic steering, if the steering wheel locks with some turn in it when shut down, it might jump a little when started and unlocking, but with electric steering, I don’t believe that happens...

I just had my first oil change at 3,100 miles as the computer suggested. It was showing 15%. The tire tread measured about 7/32", pretty consistent on all four. That would suggest a tire life of around 10-12K miles. I don't abuse the car, but I expect a larger than average portion of my miles...

I don't think that a steering wheel "shake" is normal.

Suspension geometry could be an advanced college curriculum. Lowering the car (raising the wheels) changes everything that a group of well paid engineers developed. The short answer is no, for street use don't worry about it. For stressful track use, get help, it's complicated.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the Sport Plus setting does not introduce any additional unburned fuel into the exhaust, and that the difference is in the exhaust routing through the muffler system. This seems logical, as I would expect any additional emissions would be an issue. I'll...

Seems to me, the A-spec and the Type S are pretty much mutually exclusive markets. If one satisfies, the other will not. My ITS, compared to the fun cars of my past, is way underpowered, and the front drive thing is joke. But that said, it is a car that can be fun to drive while remaining well...

That sounds like the high pitched squeal that I had, but mine went away with a short reverse. If it's the same thing, it's definitely not a rock.

I had a similar experience with my ITS last week. I noticed a high pitched sound that seemed to be related directly to the speed of the car. It did not sound like the same noise that I've heard before on other cars when a little stone was caught between the stone shield and rotor, but it was...

It's not universal in the factory tuning, as my 2025 ITS has neither of these behaviors. On an upshift the revs drop immediately, and not partially, no "hold".

You're right, from all reports, the rev match feature is not related to the issue of rev overhang. Fortunately, mine doesn't do it with or without rev matching engaged. And this continues to puzzle me. Why would the tuning not be the same in all cars? I can imagine a scenario in which very...

I contacted my mechanic about the rev hang issue, but unfortunately, he was no help. He thinks that it might be related to the rev matching feature. I don't believe that is the case. If it were, there would not be cars like mine, in which the rev matching works fine on downshifts, but there is...
