First Week Under Belt

:smile: Oh my God !!! What a great car. I took delivery last week of my MCS and have driven it everyday since. The car is amazing. I'm taking it somewhat easy for the first 1250 miles, so no burnouts (I got the LSD) and no redlines yet. I've still got her up to 80 with a couple of quick runs keeping her under 4500 rpm.
I've also climbed all over and under it and the build quality is very good. The car is definitely over engineered and put together very well. Concerns you may have from reading some of the forums on fit and finish are totally bogus so don't worry. I have noticed a little sputter during initial idle and some missing at around 3500 to 4000 rpm. I'm not concerned though since it still is the break in period. Also concerning fuel, they filled it up at Speedway and I'm going to use Shell V-power. I'll run this tank low and then use the Shell. Hopefully the missing will level out. I exclusively use V-power in my Vette with great results.
