Woke up this morning and took her out about 5am. Said to my self, lets see what this is really about. Cant really go there yet with 100 miles on it but lets see when its not 100degress and cars all around. All I can say is that I must have gotten bitten cause I have this cheesy a$$ grin from ear to ear. This car feels awesome. I cant believe the smooth quick quiet power that comes from it. I cant even imagine when shes broken in and tweaked abit. I was a bit concerned about the new feel with no IRS last night but that feeling is going to fade really fast. I was alittle on the fence about pulling the trigger to get her but I feel like it was the right choice even more than ever now. Even with a small adm the 0% financing that was just extened thru oct 1st offsets it a bit and makes it the furthest thing from my mind. Im so glad I dont have to read that post anymore. If you wanna think of a little upcharge as wasted money then its the "best money" Ive ever wasted. No regrets.
So if your thinking of it or waiting for arrival I dont think that itll dissapoint. Expect that cheesy grin like the one that I have right now.

You know what it is but Ill get the pic up soon

I love mine but it really does not feel like 500hp IMO Nor does it feel like the suspension is SVT tuned. But the thing is, it is just so comfortable drive and so enjoyable, just a fun awsome machine.
Also the size and weight make it seem like you are not going so fast, but once you look at the speedo, you say oh shit Im going 85 in a 45!

You've allready put a bunch of miles on your car or are you just beating on her already?

Engine comes broken in, drive train is not.

I have about 150 miles on mine now with wot in all gears but from a roll, no aggressive launches or hard downshifts. Once the car is rolling, you can basically "beat" on her as some say it will not harm the drivetrain. Oh and no powershifts yet.

I plan on really seeing what this thing has stock after 500 miles and hope to take it to the track before winter and score some high 12s :)

ROFL...how can you guys not get on it? I had owned the car for literally about 30 seconds before I had to spin it in 1st gear to redline. I did WOT runs in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear all the way to redline within the first 25 miles.

Even now, I try to break her in 'easy', but I go WOT through the first two gears at least once each time I get behind the wheel. How can you not?!?!
