What do you know, I found him. Trying to put the front splitter on in the service drive so I can just take it for the rest of the weekend and drop it back Monday to do paperwork and get it cleaned up.

Gorgeous!!! The car looks awesome!
 
Thanks all. We haven't even PDI'd it yet, but we got it up on the lift and Kevin put the front splitter on while me and the techs were checking out all the goodies. Found the location on the rear arm where you can adjust camber, looked over the brakes, coolers, oil pan (plug is easy to get to and just a 120* turn on a plastic plug with a 3/8" driver to remove), access port for the oil filter, valves and motors to open/close the exhaust etc etc.....lots of good stuff on this car. He gave me some temp plates and I just took off and left my pickup there for the weekend :) I'll give it back to them Monday morning but wanted to get a few miles on it in case we get snow soon. It's going to be near 60 tomorrow so not bad.

As far as driving experience, I only got about 20 or so miles on it so far. It has very good street manners, and the exhaust sounds really good when in sport or track mode. I just drove it in track mode so not sure what the suspension is like in normal or sport yet. There doesn't feel like there's a lot of body roll, but the ride isn't harsh either. It pulls well but it's not a snap your head back feeling like in a supercharged car. It does get to 8250 quicker than I thought and it sneaks up on a hundred really fast :eek: Anyway I have to run to an event tonight and the sun's going down so won't get to drive it much until tomorrow.

Very nice Gary, and you have a great Dealer that let you take the car early.

Good luck and have fun tomorrow with your new car.

302 Hi Pro
 
Congrats, Gary!!! Anxious to read your first impressions... Really like the color combination, but I'm biased! Kudos to your dealer for letting you take the car over the weekend, too.

Looking forward to this year's 'winter mods - GT350 edition' thread that you'll start tomorrow evening!!!
