New TL Type S Owner!

So after 3 months over deliberating i made a decion to get a type S. after driving a type s about 6 weeks ago and driving a base TL yesterday. I had to go with a Type S. After a nice highway run on the way home....the car is fun to drive. Almost feels like a small v8 motor. Is there anything i need to know about with this car?

2008 TL-S Carbon Bronze.

Really?

OP congrat to your purchase if you describe it seem to have a small V8 then here is my advise to you. Trying to keep your foot off that gas pedal it will save you from getting into trouble. I have Type S too and I am trying to drive like an old man (sh*t I am old lol).
