Haha.. ouch
. I have thoroughly enjoyed the car, and still just can't get used to what it offers. It just keeps giving and giving. If you ask for more, she's ready and willing to give it to you. The power just keeps spooling and spooling, with no hint of letting up in any gear.
1st gear traction is getting easier, and smooth, though I couldn't dare launch the car hard at all (though something tells me that no amount of practice would cure
that for me, with this much power...)
She rides smooth, and quietly. Road noise is minimal at best. You can hear the baby breathing in her sleep at 70 and 80mph, at cruise!!!!
And, of course, you can't go that fast without being able to stop quickly, too, which is NO problem! These brakes are perfect. Smooth, effortless, but powerful!
The old analogy of "poor man's BMW" has been completely and utterly revamped. This is the smart man's BMW. Any idiot that would spend the same amount on a BMW is a bonafide idiot. I looked, originally, at the car as a possible "upgrade" from my prior SVT. After going on the test drive, I could instantly see that it was an "upgrade" to ANY car I could have owned. Even for what people could "technically" claim is better (sheer power of a $60K sports car, etc) this car would still stomp it. The acceleration, speed, handling, braking, and ride quality make this a CLEAR choice amongst just about ANY car I could have looked at.. period.
I can't think of anything that, for even double the price (or more) would compete, even close.
