After a long wait while DMC-TX worked their magic, my brother's car (4115) has finally arrived in Minnesota!! (Side note; if you ever need to have a vehicle transported, use JP Logistics. The one person I know who has a Veyron will use only them, same with several other high-value vehicle owners I know. My car got here in 2 days and received white-glove service.) Anyway, back on topic, I LOVE this car. It's just so much fun to drive, and wants to just go and go. My brother had already done the Stage II upgrade, suspension upgrade, etc, so it drives really well. And the aftermarket exhaust snarls and burbles beautifully.
Impressions:
I'm sure I can find threads on this topic once I take time to look, but the engine idle hunts like crazy at certain times. It usually settles down after a bit of driving, but that's something I'm going to need to work on.
People love to drive in my blind spot! I've had it happen a bunch of times already today. I pass someone and then they catch up and sit in my blind spot, presumably doing unsafe things with their phones while there. It's like, "Dude, I can't see you in your giant-ass SUV, but I know you're at my 5, and it's unsettling."
I am really glad the A/C works. Today's not a particularly hot day, but it warms up in that cabin in a hurry.
I'm not going anywhere unnoticed. Weirdest comment I've gotten so far, "Say, isn't that what James Bond drove?"
The gearing is way taller than I expected. I don't even get into 4th and 5th unless I'm on the freeway.
It's exciting to have this car and to be part of this community. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment (at least until my brother claims the car back from me).
