It's *very* fast, especially when shifted manually. Without AWD, mine spins tires in at least the first three gears. You can definitely see why the GT-R (our next closest relative) is necessarily AWD.

Sounds like you're enjoying your new toy! I'm glad they were able to get the starting problem sorted out.

Ok gauges went in on Friday only thing was he did not do the tranny temp ( Where to put the sensor)??? Our trannies are sealed units and he was not sure about losing some tranny fluid. An one on here have a tranny temp on the 7 spd auto??? I should have some driving vids and a walk around today if the wife can help out. :-)

I don't have one, but I thought I'd connect it into the cooler lines somewhere.

BTW, suggestion, get a spare belt and keep it in the car. This thing is tough on belts... they will wear out far faster than the 40k factory replacement schedule. And take note of the belt part #. Look for a Gates K071045.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to keep a relaly long breaker bar (for turning the tensioner) in the car either... in case you need to replace the belt out in the middle of nowhere.
