Ray, For all I know you are a retired Formula 1 driver, but most folks have never driven a car capable of breaking traction on the rear tires just by pushing the accelerator pedal smoothly toward the floor. When that happens the back end can jump out to one side and the car is suddenly pointed toward a curb or ditch or tree or oncoming truck. A similar thing can happen if you abruptly try to slow down from high speed by down shifting and letting off the gas on a 500+ ci engine. ... So if you are a retired F1 driver, please ignore me. Otherwise, for your own safety and others on the same road, please take it very easy at first. When you decide to find the limits on that beast, please be far away from other people and roadside obstacles. I strongly suggest you take a high performance driver's course with your car, or participate in a sanctioned autocross event. .. Enjoy your new car. Safely.
