Sell it now and get what you want. It is depreciating every day you keep it.

i cant sell it, its a lease

and its already so expensive in canada, about 2400$/month tax in not including the PP

i got a good deal

20k down, 1200 tax in...

if i sell it now ill probably loose about 30k

in 3 year i guess ill get the new one, but after seeing that there is no significant "noticeable/butt dyno" power difference i am not sure the PP is for me

1- i dont want stiffer suspension
2- i dont like the red callipers

i was thinking there was a significant power diff to the car, hence my freaking out! it really sucks not to be able to try anything here due to lack of stock

thanks!

Congrats to a Fellow Canadian owner. The Canadian version of PP is more extensive than in the US as it includes lsd and cf trims (most of the comments above omitted the reference to lsd as it's a separate option in the US). The combination of the better suspension, differential and extra torque from PP would make a significant difference in your driving experience. But before you get there, try what Vic suggested and get your right foot in the second half of the gas pedal range. On the stock version of this car, this is where the magic is. I know you said that you don't want to tune it but you'll need one for the real excitement unfortunately. I'm originally from Quebec too and MB dealers are much less mod friendly than they may be in Toronto. But you're right, although the renown tunes are quite reliable and safe, there's always the risk of a warranty issue if something goes wrong.

Have fun! And post a few pics of your new toy!

I still can't believe that you pay 100k for a car and a lsd is an option, the 56k cadi has one.
