They DID show you the "Secret" handshake, right?
Ohhhh. You mean when they showed me both middle fingers after the sale and then slapped high fives to each other? They told me that was the "super" thumbs up cause your regular thumbs are too short. I didn't realize that was the secret handshake. LOL.

I was impressed at the smoothness of the ride, and equally had the "OH Sh*T" moment when I got home and had a chance to see what it would do after 500 miles....remember telling my son that this made my 440-6 pak seem like a Volkswagon in comparison...RR was fast for it's time.

Driving 750 miles in eco mode and not once getting into it and thinking 25 mpg was pretty good:) I have had fast cars for a long time so I was in no hurry to see what it could do. I actually was very cautious not knowing what to expect and not giving anyone a "spirited" drive until I did know

This ........exactly........390 HP never felt so slow! But I still love it.

@71SixPack ...Yeah, I know...mine was closer to 525HP, a beast. But comparing to HC...much slower.

You know I did the same thing, put it in Eco mode but then I noticed when I stop it starts off in second gear so I did away with that Eco mode. 25 miles per gallon is great
