Andy the brute force is astonishing and I was very much impressed by the car all around. I have been rooted for this project from day 1 so it's nice to finally get some long overdue seat time!

Now I know I keep harping on this but what's your take on the door openers? Ever have an issue and what happens say if you have a ring on?

Another worthy mention is this is the same spec (well very similar) as Ron's

just one thing that came up my mind...

so you say not Turbo lag at all...but is there this Turbo like surge of speed,the instant brutal force from down low or rather a rapid build up of speed along with revs like on NA cars?

That's an amazing spec! I love this car in black. Funny to hear about the hatred towards the openers I always thought it might be a cool little trick.

What are your thoughts about the monticello club? I have always been intrigued by what they have up there.

Andy one of the camera guys said it looked like I was doing something rather naughty to the car when I was repeatedly trying to swipe under the door.

If you are wearing a ring, just hold the unlock button on the key and the door will open without swiping.
