Default 1st hundred miles!!!!!!

Well took her out for the first hundred miles...All I can say is "HOLLY SHI#$$$" !!!

Put the AC on hit the on ramp at 40mph in 1st. gear 80mph in 2nd.
It drives amazingly well with a high degree of comfort and endless speed . The power to weight ratio scary...scary.. scary neck snapping experience. I recommend that if you get a chance to ride in one of these road rockets to do it...It will take your breath away and take you places you never have gone before. I Caution you to try and resist getting your own Gt40. OHH! IF don't like attention, this is not the car for you.
My wife mentioned that I have some how became very atractive to other women with all the looks..I keep telling here it the car honey! Really!!!
