that car is unreal, it just pulls and pulls on the freeway. I took it all the way up and it drives amazingly well at speed ( well for $80K it better ). Though I was kinda suprised when I hit the factory rev limit at 155MPH it just stoped accelerating out of nowhere and just kept backing off the ignition and leaning out the mixture to keep the car from going faster. Novel idea, but kinda lame considering how much the car costs, and what it's really capable of.
I love the interior, stiched leather everywhere ( dash doors, etc ) that is super soft. the seats have full pnumatic lumbar and side bolstering, the longer you hold the button the tighter it holds you.
I have only 3 complaints about this car:
1) $80,000+ price tag
2) no option for a manual
3) stupid rev limit
just another day at the office, hehe
