First thing you do - toss the factory Pirelli tires.

Second thing you do - put on Michelin PSS tires.

Third thing you do - realize that an accelerator is not an on-off switch.

I love my V8 S. It's a keeper. I will not be selling it.
Never driven one. Just heard the balance wasn't great, but we also assume that most people who buy performance cars aren't good drivers (more money than brains). The majority expect to mash the pedal and go fast. Why 911s all end up backwards in trees.

Good to see someone with a head on their shoulders

You do anything else? How does the front grip under proper approach? What's the power curve feel like? Yes throttle control, but pedal feel and how it puts down the power is very important. I'd love to get my hands on one of these eventually. Honestly I see it as art and a cruiser more than a track car.
