I know this test is a couple months old, but I haven't seen anyone post anything about it...

Meh... ain't shiat... except one seriously fast car... at a not so user friendly price. The truly sad thing is, you nearly need to be a contortionist to get in and out!

If I'm paying that kinda coin for a car... it needs to come get me outta bed and cradle me into the driver seat!

I don't think anyone expects the fastest production car in the world to be cheap or comfortable!

What a day and age we live in where there are factory production cars that can click off 9 second 1/4 mile passes and are road course kings as well... My god... Think back in the 90s where we were with supercars (or even regular sportscars) compared to today. I can't wait to see what things will be like in the next 10-20 years with technology.

Jay Leno just took delivery of the first one in the US. He put 2000 miles on it in the first 2 weeks. It must be nice to be rich.

Nope, but it's probably very comfortable when you're all tucked in and feeling like the road straightens as you approach.
