And everyone who PM'd me; I have your PM's, a preliminary deal has been arranged, if it falls through, I will pass along the info to the next person in line. Thanks!

Well, there IS a lot going on, but I wanted to pass an MSRP deal along to someone who had hopes of getting this car/a sticker deal. So it wasn't a big deal.

Every option is negotiable until the car is actually built, however i belive a deal has already been secured on it pending verification. Aside from that, Yep, my children are my main priority. I'm doing everything I can to keep it civil for my sanity and the well being of everyone, especially...

No crap, when were you in Balad? I was there Feb 03-feb 04. Mosul/Tikrit/Balad.

Yes, it is in Michigan. Me too Tonio, where were you at?

On account of impending family issues, i.e. divorce, I am sadly, and very reluctantly withdrawing my order for a 16. Best case scenario I can jump back on the wagon in a year or two. So I'm offering it up to the next tail wagging, tongue hanging person hoping to get one. I ordered the end of...

Its the handling course. The abuse they put the vehicles through on that is amazing. I take it you were there Thursday? It was quite the event I'm told, and the gathering at World Headquarters was a sight to see. Not sure if you wanted to elaborate from there. :thumbsup:

I'm very anal about my cars, especially my Mustangs/high end stuff. For instance, in my F150, I almost never lock my blinker on, unless I'm stopped for a long period of time. I don't want the multi function switch to wear out and be loose in the column. I hate that. I also don't slide out of...

This. With a slight regard for miles. I don't want it touched by anyone at the dealership. I plan to be there when it arrives, and just like my children, I will watch it closely until I take it home.

I don't think the reasoning behind this is a lack of development. Maybe in the public sector, but definitely not in the engineering department. I personally seen a gt350 in operation and talked to one of the developing engineers last August at the launch of the S 550.

How many? I wonder if the multimatic cars are limited by the same standards or if there can be any resolve by looking there. I'm genuinely curious as well. I can only attest to it not being an issue 1-3, shifting at 7700. Hmm. It doesn't bother me from a performance standpoint, but it...

You can manually change just the exhaust into normal or sport, or change the mode itself which will also have the same effect on the exhaust. Unfortunately, it is not just as simple as a button press on the wheel, you have to access the track apps, scroll, then pick an option. A toggle switch...

The bulk of that IS a warmup safety feature, for the clueless people. I was unaware of the timeout. In aggressive street driving I don't see it being encountered. Realistically the only scenario I see it is a high rpm smoky burnout.

If it's the same one that older woman is no joke! She was the first to take me for a ride in the new s550... probably the most aggressive driver on the main roads, lol. Also noticed she was using both feet... and my vote is magnetic! again... lol.

I want my car to be in the process of being built! I ordered magnetic with black stripes, although I'm debating changing it to non stripes, or also DIB sans stripes as well. I don't know what to do.

I have no qualms with it. Would it be nice? Sure, but I warm my car up anyway, it's not much work for me to just disable it before I leave. I am also in agreeance with being courteous to my neighbors. I daily drove one of my supercharged foxes for a week, 6 in the morning with dumped Flowmasters...

There'll be a way. Porsche utilizes a similar system, and they are easily bypassed by unplugging a connection on the engine harness.

For cars without the toggle switches, yes, you have to manually open the valves with each ignition cycle.

I wasn't driving, so I can't give a firsthand impression. From a workable RPM, It pulls very hard. I believe we did a 4k drop in 1st -3rd. I'd say power is pretty close. I WOULD NOT say they sandbagged a huge margin. I wouldn't think it's 550+. As a disclaimer I didn't ask what grade of fuel was...

I was also able to experience one this past weekend. It was a track pack car. It did not have the toggle switches, so you had to go into the track apps through the steering wheel buttons to access the exhaust modes. It sounds amazing, it crackles when you lift, and it seems like you have to...
