Awesome. Love your car.

Now pick out somewhere five hundred miles away you've been meaning to visit, go there Saturday and spend the night, drive home Sunday, and get this break-in period bull**** over with so we can get your real driving impressions!

Such a sweet car, Congrats.
I have a June build for an orange RS.
Out of curiosity, how much do you plan on driving your RS? Are you going to track it?

Yesterday was my first real drive in the RS. I kept the rpms down to 5k and no more than half throttle. An easy row through the gears put me at 110 when I saw the po po coming from the other direction. This car does not blend in very well with dark colored SUVs and pickups. I know he saw me but he just kept on going. The handling is just so much tighter than the turbo. On and off ramps that give the TT a bit of body roll and tire squeal don't even phase the RS. A friend in the passenger seat almost crapped himself when I took a very tight 270 degree on ramp at a crazy speed, and there were marbles on the road to boot. Cornered like on rails. I can't wait to track her.
