Thanks again to all for the help! Bob in AZ/USA
The first time I really drove mine was over 900 miles from Chicago area (where I bought it) back to my home on the East end of Long Island NY. Needless to say it was quite an exhilarating drive! I did break it into two days (I have a tendency to fall asleep when I'm tired...) but it was a great way to get to know the car. It didn't take very long to realize how quickly and effortlessly it gets to speeds that will get you in trouble with the law. On several occasions during the trip I drove it at around 85 mph for 2 -3 hr. stretches and it felt like it was just begging for more...I love this car!

They seem to find their sweet spot higher in rev range and feel like they can live right up at redline. I have always enjoyed that about pcars
