I'm 800 miles into it now after almost 2 weeks - more impressions:
I drive the car to work and around town every day - great daily driver.
The exhaust is still getting throatier by the mile. Sounds awesome.
People really notice the 405 badge (enthusiasts anyway).
No trouble with other drivers, no trouble parking in any lot in town thus far (I don't double park but I do park in bigger spots when I can find them).
The tires REALLY hook up - I drive with ah/tc off all the time, and even in the rain when I jump on it in 1st the rears slip a little going around corners, I give it a quick correction in steering, the rear end bites and away I go. No drama, no terror.
Friends are simply amazed at how hard the car pulls high in the rpm range.
I've only made it to 100mph so far, haven't been on the open highway yet to hit the 150 club - probably this weekend. I will of course be very careful in doing it.
THIS CAR IS AWESOME!!!! I LOVE IT!
Mods I've made:
Got the windows tinted - looks nice.
CAGS bypass - a must.
Put on an exhaust plate (between the tips).
Painted the front plate letters and rear facia letters - 1/2 hour job and cost is about $4. Looks great.
Put the B&M shifter in - simply amazing how quick shifts are now. The stock shifter and knob are junk in comparison.
Euro lights are on order.
Going to order front corner light blackouts.
Will lower about 1" next week.
Thinking about long tube headers and an intake - still waiting for others to verify the improvement.
Changed oil at 530 miles - looked great. Didn't burn a drop.
Zaino and 4 washes already.
