It is one of the best car I have driven. The car is FAST and handles a go-cart. I have not rev it over 5k RPM yet, I can't image how fast it would be when I rev it all the way to 8k RPM.

Cool! If you don't already have it, download Season 8 episode 4 of Top Gear because they just reviewed your exact car versus the Boxter S.

Yeah, I didn't like the fat steering at first until I took it to some mountain roads. The car handles great and it puts a giant smile on my face

I got it $2300 below MSRP from Steven Creek BMW and the OTD price on this monster is around $62k. Other places are selling it at MSRP or MSRP + dealer markup.

Dan Martin & Stapler,

Thanks. In fact, downloading this episode was the first thing I did after my long weekend getaway. It is a great review/comparo The lap time for my car is 1.26, which is faster than 911 GT3, Cayman, M3 CSL, M5, Corvette, and a lot of other cars. I probably will take it to track after I have 1200 miles on the odometer.

We ordered it. the ones on the lot have been abused by other test drivers, plus they don't have Imola red with Imola red interior.
