I just thought it would be interesting to see what the car could achieve in each gear. All of this was done at the 7500 rpm red line and not past it even though I'm sure the electronic nannies would let you squeeze out a little more if you wanted to.

1st - 40

2nd - 65

3rd - 90

4th - 115

Is it normal for the progression to be this linear? That would lead me to believe it could get 165 without a limiter. Of course all of this was and should be done in a safe and controlled environment. Also, I was impressed to see that it could nail sixty reasonably comfortably while still in second. That definitely helps it 0 - 60 times for the crowd that judges almost solely on that statistic.

Loving this thing!
