Glad to hear you are enjoying the car.
Please make sure you keep it intact with reasonable street driving and keeping the racing on the track.
Which prompts the next question, have you gone to the track and/or autox with the car? That is where you can see it really shine as you hang with C6 vettes and other cars that cost far more than yours.
Look for your local HPDE groups and autox groups, so we can make sure you don't end up in the accidents thread.

this this this
dont crash it ...you have no clue how it really handles ...until u loose on the track ...which is where YOU need to be to learn how to control and drive ours with skill and safety ...the street in no place to push an S hard , its a good way to loose your lic or worse , best of luck

I love my S on a part-time basis. If I had to daily drive it I would not be so happy.
