Finally.....

Got me one. Finally arrived this evening after a long ride home. Love it. Feels so great. Impeccable manners. Magnificent sound. Awesome torque. Only complaint is the seat is a quite tight on my lats. I was forewarned of this though.

Wow! Big congratulations! I know you've been wanting to get one for a while and it's finally here.

Was it brand new or used? I'm guessing brand new? What was the price if you don't mind me asking? Or you can PM me.

Amazing!

Congrats! White is the fastest color....

You buy it new or did it have miles? Don't be so tight lipped.

Any noticeable power gains after what you've done?

Sounds like you're enjoying it!

bought it with just under 11k miles.

Definitely noticeable power gains. I see some new rear tires in my future.

awesome congrats on the car.....i took a 100 mile long drive yesterday in mine and feel like it is the most satisfying car ive ever driven. The Cobra is jealous. With those mods did u notice more throttle response or more top end or what?

To be quite honest, I didn't have the car long enough to be able to make specific comparisons. The traction control kicks in a lot more unless you disable it. It seems to really come alive above 50mph when it starts breathing.

That's wisdom right there.
I'm with Chuck, there's a lot of headroom with this car and unless you have money earning driving talent, you won't fall short because of the car.
