Thank you guys. I ll post my first impression and take some pics I'm still very torn about brake easy or hard but from doing more research I think it may be better to let the car rev in different ranges.

congrats John...ive had mine for just under 3 weeks and every time i get out i have smile on my face...im juss at about 1000 miles so im starting to punch it more and more, which in turn is leading to more smiles 
i have a question about this....multiple ppl have stated that they "feel" like the car/engine gets stronger w/ mileage...if that is true, wouldnt it make sense to wait for a few thousand miles (or longer) and then do ECU?
no sure if you were serious or not taylor, but im just wondering out loud

Congrats on the new ride. New tires will not be far behind...lol. The Pirelli's suck and the car is clearly under-tired as well. 265's or 275's on the rears will hopefully help with tire life. I have almost 14k on mine and buying my second set of new rears this week (my 3rd set if you count the originals). Going with 265 on rear and 245 on front and going with GY Eagle F1 A/S, which are much better than the Pirelli's.
How often do fronts have to be changed? Do they last about twice as long as rears?

Congrads & A Belated Welcome To You!
My suggestion would be like most. Buy extra rear P-Zeros for now till the fronts go or tell your dealer to through in a set before you sign on the dotted line. As for the break in, its always not a bad idea to break it in normally. Trust me 1,000 to 3,000 miles is nothing once you start driving that car. That doesn't mean you have to be completely shy and not slide in a little bit of fun. Just take it easy is what I am trying to say for at least the first 1,000 miles.
All The Best & Enjoy!
