I calmed down and had lunch...on the way home it was drag races from every stop sign

This monster need no after market tuned exhaust...just wide open spaces and a good empty road to show it's class....

Also won $500 at lunch to pay for the gas I'll be using in weeks to come...
Try manually starting in first and let it shift at 6300 through about 3 gears, the nose points to the stars and you are at a hundred in 15 seconds. My 550 wants to start in second so I drop it into first with the paddle and you are off to the races.

For once I wasn't trying to be double-entendre or innuendo and you two start going south! Sheesh.
