i have some comments too.

our cars are fast but not quick enough.. i wish we had more torque. i dont know about 7AT but I have the 5AT (w/ sports package) and the power doesnt kick in until 4000rpm.. and good power only comes in at 6000-7000rpm.

ure absolutely right, the car isnt very stable at 143mph.. i felt insecured.

but overall like you i have had good experience with the car and have no regrets getting it over the 335..

Yeha I have USAA, but the insurance is still alot for me if I brought it here. Plus I plan to do a TT project this fall and I live 45 minutes from Forged at home lol. So far I have been to Garmisch for snowboarding and Prague ( Which was fun as hell btw. ). Doing training right now in Graf though.

That's nice and accurate review. I did take my car beyond 140 mph and it did not feel planted and did not inspired confidence at all forcing to slow down rather quickly. I'm used to riding my bike is excess of 165 mph in a straight and around turns so speed is no big deal. I'm sure that with an aftermarket suspension and some tweaking that could be easily corrected.

nice write-up. id recommend upgrading to wider tires and getting aftermarket sway bars for some big improvements in handling.
