Schmee meets new GT owner
There's lots of fascinating info about the Carrera GT, the post mentions my favorite bit of trivia, that you're not supposed to hit the gas when pulling away in first. The ECU apparently keeps the car from stalling? That's what I always thought. Anyway, this is a pretty fun video.

I can still count on one hand the number of times I've seen one of these in real life...

The ECU does not do that. My first drive I had many stalls trying to start from a standstill. It takes a bit of training and practice.
