Congrats Mark!! You bringing it to RRR next weekend? What a great way to break it in....you don't have pound on it, but it would be a great break in between the drive down and back and some medium track use as you learn the car. Assuming I don't have student overload, I'd be glad to take you out and show you some of the changes the mods have made so far......Be nice to have another one on the track....

Thanks guys (and girl) I'm getting kind of excited now. I did the paperwork last night but I still have my car. Part of the deal was that I get to keep my JCW aero kit.
So I kept it at the bodyshop and took off the JCW kit. Unfortunately, I couldn't get anyone at the dealer to call me back to see if they had the clips I needed to put the stock kit back on.
By after 5pm, they finally called and I drove to the dealership to get the clips only to find out they still didn't have all I need.
The new clips won't be in till Friday and Friday at noon I have to go to Tampa. (gotta drive a motorhome, so can't take the car anyways.)
Point is, at this rate, I may not get the car till Monday.
Oh well.... soon enough.

Sorry Bruce.... I didn't really pound on it but did put it through it's paces. The car seemed to pull a little harder on bottom end to midrange. It might be because it's a stick compared to my automatic.
It was kind of hard like I said since I didn't hammer it.
But I will.

Gordon, ABSAFREAKINLUTELY!!!! I almost find it funny that I buy a brand new car and within 3 days after I get it, I'm taking it to the track....
Ironically, I think that the trip (including track time) would be the PERFECT break-in.
It'll give me a GREAT chance to learn the car because otherwise I'd be hammering on it. Absolutely perfect.
And as far as taking me out on the track to show me what the differences, I'll gladly take you up on that. Anytime I get the chance to have someone better than me show me a car or the track, I'll be all over it.
Giddyup! Factory JCW! Any chance I can get a ride at RRR? (Not on the track, per se, but out and about.) I'm gonna have to do a bit of staring. Damn! That's awesome, Mark.

Thanks Ben....sure you can get a ride...a test drive if you'd like.
There won't be much to stare at. By the time I get the car, I won't have a chance to even paint the aero kit so it'll be bone stock.
U get from Charlotte or Charleston? I havent seen a M/Y car with an Aero Kit, I bet that will look sharp.
You'll feel the difference....Chad
