Some things I don't like are

Side pipes (hot and fumes) and its very loud
Very heavy clutch
Hard to drive in the city with stop and go traffic
It get 6 to 10 mpg, but not a deal breaker

IMHO - None of these reason are good enough!

Has anyone traded theirs in for a smaller one? Driven both? Been very happy with only 300 to 400 hp? Will I regret this? Thanks for the advice.
But this is... Will you regret not giving it a go?
There is nothing "wrong" with making a "bad" decision, but there is something wrong with NOT making a decision and letting time/opportunity slip you by.

Basically what I'm saying is DON'T let fear of stuffing up stop you...
If it turns out to be the wrong call, you can always find a way to right the wrong.

Just my 2 cents.

Either way "enjoy" you have a good problem
