LOL Chris, the car asked for nothing. It was the tire shops who didn't want to sell me a lesser tire, several flat out refused. It came to me with 2 good U tires, which I couldn't match. Not a good plan to add tires 2 categories apart. Not for speed, for handling. Which is why I bought this little rocket (at my wife's insistence). AWD, with a system that provides proper power to each wheel according to the driving condition at that moment.
The full set of V tires was less than $400.
You're right, I don't have any idea if it will actually hit 146 mph that's claimed (with a fresh engine). Looking forward to a road trip through New Mexico to see if that 2-lane desolate 40 mile stretch I remember is still used to test top speed. That's where I discovered that my '69 Alfa Romeo was uncomfortably loud much over 100 mph. Wind noise, engine was nowhere near red line.
My Audi is a lot like that Alfa coupe, but with 30 years' newer technology, and creature comforts. The guy who bought my Alfa was thrilled to get the rust bucket project, and paid 1/3 of my Audi cost. Both a hoot to drive on winding roads. Both beautiful cars.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
