Hahahah!! I wish there was enough power to do a burnout!
Truthfully, I haven't felt like posting a lot since getting the car, as honestly, I haven't been that stoked on it. And I feel bad for that. I am so grateful to Matt for helping me get the car. And there's nothing wrong with it per se. It looks AMAZING. I spent 3 hours on Sunday detailing it, and another couple the other night. I got a new windshield put in on Tuesday, but the new windshield is scratched, so the car has to go back to the shop next week. Insurance inspection is on Friday. The windshield guy couldn't believe the condition the car was in and how nice it looked.
But.....so far, I'm just not stoked. Just being honest. It's really really bumming me out. Part of it is me, I know that. It takes me a while to get used to new things. But I've driven 700's enough in my life that I thought I'd get into it. So far I haven't. The main problem is, the ride isn't great. On the highway its fine, but in town I feel like a 17 year old with a JDM car on cut springs. It looks good. But the more I drive it, the more unhappy I am with the ride. Matt and I agreed that the shocks need to be done, so that will be step one. If that doesn't improve things, I'll be ditching the springs. What I loved about the Smurf was the ability to go anywhere, especially in winter. This car won't do that at this point.
There's other things too....the transmission always grinds going into reverse, and I can't stand how the arm rest is in the way for gear changes. Your wrist is always at this weird angle for shifting. And the car feels big to me. Really big.
So I feel like shit complaining, but that's where I'm at right now. If you put a nice 240 in front of me and asked me to trade, I'd do it in a flash. That said, the car isn't mind blowing in power, but it is deceivingly fast at times. Doubling the speed limit is not hard. It's just so smooth and undramatic, it leaves me feeling underwhelmed. But that's because it isn't making a lot of noise or being a handful, which I'm not used to!
