For all you guys out there who haven't hit this mark yet and you're being good and keeping it under 4500, you are in for a very sweet surprise.

I just came back from a little midnight drive and the car feels amazing.
The power starts pulling then goes and goes. I didn't go much over 5K but did get on the freeway at full throttle through second and 3rd gears.
AWESOME

I even tried turning off the ASC in a huge deserted parking lot. Serious tire spinning, what a blast. I felt like I was in high school again.

Cheers

Are you still grinnig??

I reached the 1200 mile mark a week past Sunday. Red line 2nd and 3rd are amazing - the noise from the supercharger and the kick in the backside

Also discovered the rev limiter yesterday morning...it's really soft as opposed to some that just cut the fuel and launch you through the windscreen. Not sure what revs it started at...too busy smiling!
