Talking just got my very own P5

I have had my P5 now for about three weeks, and everything is working perfectly. I got the sportshift because my girlfriend refuses to drive a manual, so we settled for the next best thing. I have, though, noticed that putting the car into reverse from park makes it shudder a bit. Is this normal? Oh yeah, does anyone know where I can get some of those zoom zoom stickers? I can't find it at any dealership (checked 4 already). Thanks for your help!

I have not experienced any problems going into reverse. You may want to document what's happening and then see your dealer.

The shudder is normal. It annoys the hell out of me, but I don't think there's anyway to fix it. I might be wrong, but if you do get it fixed, please let us know.

it's midnight blue mica

i have found that if the car is warmer, it tends to shudder less. it is definitely annoying, but once i put the car in drive, it's sweeeet. i just moved to tucson, az, so once i recover from my startup costs, i will start modifying it. it's actually going into the shop next week to get tinted with that silvery film... damn tucson sun is so hot in the summer! that and the stupid color shows every darn dirty spot imagineable. but it sure does look sweet when it's clean. next big mod will be springs and shocks-- what do you guys think-- eibach? skunks? other? then after that, i will start messing with the engine... intake, headers, exhaust... stuff like that. but right now, money is scarce. i'll post some photos up as soon as i get my digital camera. oh... another question... have any of you experienced any problems driving in "sport" mode all the time?
