I drove it in a big circle in the Cabelas parking lot where I met the transport and up into my trailer and that's it. So I have no idea. But come Saturday we're gonna find out. ;-) Has a nice exhaust note, but will need to be louder.

That's reasonable. Drive her very gently at first and, the first time you get on her really hard, do it in a big open parking lot where there's nothing to hit if something on her breaks unexpectedly. |

I'll be the first to say it, since some other yutz will eventually post it, "Drive it like you stole it."  |

I have finally made my great escape from the city and we just moved southwest of Austin into the Hill Country, where I have miles and miles of winding roads to just go play. As you say I will just need to find a big parking lot first to go experiment.
How many miles are on your car now? |

I average a little over 600 miles a year on her -- I think she's got under 6500 right now. |

That's what I have done. Used Santa Anita Race Track parking lot until the police escorted us out!
