After 5-6 long monthsf, I finally was able to pick my car up last week. I ordered a white/red SVTPP with Recaros (red inserts), and the track package. I absolutely love the car, I'm biased but it's a really good color combination.
My driving of it has and will be very minimal...but it drives amazing. Before I even moved the car, I put it into sport mode. I drove about 25 miles back from the railyard and loved the responsivness of the steering and the accelerator. The Goodyears stick MUCH better than the ones I had on my 2008. I also like the shifter, it gives the feel of an aftermarket short throw, but still keeps the stock look. I'm very happy with it.
I love how there isn't a grill, it reminds me more of a racecar and makes it look sportier...but it would be a nightmare to drive at night (bugs). My second downfall of the car is the steering wheel. I do not like the feeling of having 90% of the wheels be covered in suede. I would prefer to have a leather wrapped wheel.
The exhaust has a very nice tone to it, it's not excessivley loud and in 6th gear on the highway it sounds like you're driving a luxury car. Higher revving points though (3500+ rpms) still have the nice raspy sound that the GT500 is known for.
Overall I rate this car a 9.5/10. (Part of my deduction is for it being almost too nice to drive :beer: )

I put 50 miles on her yesterday.
