Well, picked her up after work on Friday just in time for the extended weekend.
Drove her until 2 in the morning, man this things rocks.
For those of you that live here in the Bay Area I took her up Hwy 9 in the Santa Cruz Mountians at 1:00 AM, to test out the handling. Oh my god this thing doesn't handle like it is on rails, it handles like it is on SUPER rails. I mean it's really as easy as point and shoot. I tried to get the active handling to kick in, but I chickened out before the car did. I had a 2000 Hardtop, but the Z makes the 2000 FRC look like a Yugo.
My apoligies to the break-in gods, as I have sinned. I just couldn't resist it. I did a couple a WOT with only a couple hundred miles on her and took her to 5500 RPM or so. I feel good about her though. So far, no sticky brakes like the 2000 FRC and keeping my fingers crossed on the oil consumption. I think I got a good one though, I can feel it. AS of right now she has 390 miles.
One quick question for you all, my car came with the body side moldings and I want them removed, for those of you that have had them removed from the dealer, is there any concerns I should have or is it pretty easy for the dealer to do?
Well thanks for letting me share my excitment with you all, I am proud to join the Z06 family.
