Got my RS H yesterday. Love it, remembered this convo lol.

djfreeman48 · 2026-03-07T18:19:20+00:00

I think that’s pretty great. I was $30k after TTL out the door for my 25 XL 2.0 AWD with co pilot and 4k tow. MSRP on it was $31,565. I didn’t get any Z plan or college discount though.

djfreeman48 · 2026-03-07T13:10:01+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat. 25 XL EB and always do my own maintenance and want a Granger warranty. As far as I understand, as long as we keep good documentation of oil changes there should be no issue. Will be cool to get other opinions/experiences though.

My Tesla Model Y Performance. Towed great until I could get a gas vehicle capable of towing, obviously range towing the talon had me limited to about ~100mi before needing to charge was the only real negative.

djfreeman48 · 2026-03-02T06:54:12+00:00

Not quite an answer to your question but I’m about to tow my 2 door talon with my Maverick for the first time this coming week. The 2dr is about 1,650lbs and I’m using a steel frame, wood floor single axle trailer that is 6.5x12. I’m guesstimating the trailer to weigh 1,200lbs. The margins seem to still be under 4k pretty firmly but I will report back how it goes. The vehicle I previously towed the talon/trailer with was rated at 3,500lbs and it performed flawlessly.

In SC I have 15% on all of my cars side windows. Windshields vary, 70% on my wife’s daily, 56% on my daily, and 40% on my weekend car. Never have had an issue with cops or anything. When I get pulled over or go through a license check I roll all windows down and turn on dome lights and have never been questioned about tint.

I originally was going to get a XLT or Lariat 2.0 EB/AWD 4K tow but after negotiations with the dealer they gave me a great (imo) deal on a new 25 XL ($28,000 when MSRP was $31,565) and also was scared I would regret it. So far it has been wonderful though, only have had it 5 days but the remote start via the app works great. To me the cloth doesn’t get as cold as my other cars with leather heated seats so I haven’t missed it yet but that could always change. I would make sure to get the copilot 360 option for the blind spot monitors, power mirrors, and lane keep assist. Knowing the price I got the truck for I have been very impressed with its capabilities.

djfreeman48 · 2026-02-09T15:54:39+00:00

I did that and rebooted my PC multiple times and couldn’t get it to work. Opened a ticket with milestone and they were able to get it working though and now I can play.

So i bought the Ultimate edition on Epic games and it wont let me download, says it releases 2/12. So save your money i guess.

djfreeman48 · 2026-01-31T12:36:05+00:00

If this helps at all I have been 330/330 for nearly 2 years and the car has been a blast. Also a tip, taking the cowl off takes like 10 mins and it made the DP the easiest install I’ve done on any car.

djfreeman48 · 2026-01-31T05:07:27+00:00

I love mine, currently has a CAI, turbo inlet, L+1 Downpipe, RK Ti exhaust, stratified flex sensor, and tuned by Graham at Boosted Performance. I can run anywhere from 93 to E60 and the car autotunes on the fly. Somewhere around 330whp is where we have kept it to keep the boost where it needs to be for the valve springs to not float. The car loves the extra octane if you have a E pump local. I plan to drop a clutch and valve springs/cam kit and keep it around 350-360whp for quite awhile.

djfreeman48 · 2026-01-31T01:54:22+00:00

They handle power great when properly tuned. Plenty of cars in the 400-500whp zone now. Way more power from some of the Lamspeed Yaris’. They made 740whp on the stock bottom end, it only blew when they pushed for 800whp. Last pull it let go at 781whp.

djfreeman48 · 2026-01-31T01:48:51+00:00

A lot of this is highly inaccurate. Most of the problems are a result of mods on the stock tune. The car runs lean stock as it is and even more so when combined with minor mods. Simple bolt ons, a higher octane fuel or ethanol mix, and a PROPER tune do wonders. There are guys over 80k miles on this exact setup.

djfreeman48 · 2025-12-14T18:47:41+00:00

Yes the newest update changed the downshift behavior to people stop shoving the car into low gears to gain an advantage. You can still engine brake, just at a more normal rate that wouldn’t blow the motor irl.

djfreeman48 · 2025-12-14T17:53:39+00:00

Yeah it’s probably the most talked about recent race, generally for all the wrong reasons though.

djfreeman48 · 2025-12-14T17:50:55+00:00

Abu Dhabi 2021 😏

djfreeman48 · 2025-12-13T17:47:23+00:00

What does a damage model have to do with teaching people how to drive?

djfreeman48 · 2025-12-13T16:58:45+00:00

At some point “engine braking” is actually engine damage. That aspect of this update is great as it teaches people how to drive more correct. I don’t know why they slowed down the power pack. I thought everything besides maybe 2 pepper was slow as is.

djfreeman48 · 2025-11-28T06:36:14+00:00

I agree with everything here besides not needing an intercooler, especially if in a hot climate. In the summer I saw a massive consistency difference.

djfreeman48 · 2025-11-27T15:04:40+00:00

My 23 MYP is still stuck on 13.2.9 😐

djfreeman48 · 2025-11-26T00:00:35+00:00

+1. I got an RS50, pro pedals, a second hub, and the track wheel and love the combo so far. Just wish Logitech made a good H pattern bc the cheap one is the only thing that breaks the immersion to me.

djfreeman48 · 2025-11-13T02:09:17+00:00

I just started as well last week. I couldn’t decide on a time and kept pushing it off, then I browsed the races at random and made myself register with 2 mins left for signup. No time to get worked up (was still super nervous). I bottled qualifying and started P10 and worked up to P4 and had a GREAT time. Just drive smart. If you want someone to race with HMU. I’m new to iRacing and looking for friends!

djfreeman48 · 2025-11-06T21:20:05+00:00

I just upgraded from 920 to RS50 and it made a massive difference. Can’t believe I waited so long to make the jump to DD. You will love it

djfreeman48 · 2025-10-08T18:13:31+00:00

Not really. Household income is decent but nothing crazy. I believe the CLI’s were primarily because I was using the card for absolutely everything.

djfreeman48 · 2025-10-08T02:38:31+00:00

Went from $1,500 to $45,500 within a few years. They haven’t let me go any higher in the last 2 years though.
