Drove the car for the first time today, About 100 miles of freeway, surface street and town driving:
First impressions: This thing is just awesome!
The engine doesn't have the same amazing sound of a V8, but it spins up so quickly that it just punches you in the back. Plus the turbo whine is just behind your head!
But to me the most impressive feature is the Transmission -- hit the gas at 60mph and the shift from 7th gear to 3rd takes place instantly, and the car just takes off!
For me Sport mode worked best on the street -- Normal mode had the engine at 1,700 rpm or lower -- too much laboring for break-in in my mind.
Wing deployed in sport mode at about the legal speed limit. Had to take a trip across the border to Mexico to get the air brake to deploy:wink
