Welcome to the site - I've yet to drive one of these things. Funny: a bunch of people I sail with/against have them. There must be 4 or 5 in the parking lot on race nights.

Is yours the supercharged/turbocharged (I forget) engine?

Manual transmission makes it easier to squeeze out good results. You're on the right track: start keeping good records, work on your skills, and challenging yourself to improve on those regular trips/commutes.
