road tested after the first 1200 mile fine tunning.

"wow" thats all I can say. The engine starts to purr at 3500 rpm but once you get over the 5000k mark, it purrs even more. then once its gets to 7500k to 8000k, ahhh its rediculous. And on top of that the handling gets better the faster you go. If theres anyone around the DFW area that onces to meet up and cruise around let me know.

Does the power feel any different after they did the 1200 mile service? There has been a lot of talk on the forum that after the 1200 mile service, the full 414 HP is released.

So.....there is some sort of restriction of power until the 1200 mile service? I just got my car this past Tuesday and I scheduled my first service for May 8. I might need to go to El Paso this weekend and back to get to my service quicker and get the full 414 hp.

honestly, the only reason why people may think that there is more power is becuase you can actually puch it to the 8K rpm range, whatever the case is... the ride is a beauty.
