So the car came in on Friday and I've been driving it ever since. Recieved the car with some pretty mean scratches on one of the lower side skirts but didn't notice them till after I signed the release form and had left the dock 
can hardly notice them though. Inital impression is that this car ROCKS ! So very torquey, don't even really need to shift. The car can pull out of 900rpm in most gears with no bucking whatsoever. Nail the throttle and this thing just takes off, it feels fast but not boost fast, it's not until you glance at the speedo that you realize that you're nearing 100mph. The car rides great, a little soft but well controlled. It has some amazing grip in the turns though, must be the 295's out back 
Overall I'm still in shock that this thing is mine. I get some funny looks from guys in their 40's/50's like I'm a spoiled brat with daddy's car.....oh well. Also an off duty officer in a nice black SS did a double take as I passed him on the freeway.
heres a crappy pic of the car in my driveway.

Geeez...I'm so jealous!
How old are you anyways? We never met but damn if you're in your 20's you must be making some serious cash!
Makes me want to rethink my career choice
