    **My new V10**

    Just wanted to post a few pics of the new car received last week. Once I have my special little touches done, (as I did to the V8) and get it detailed, I'll post some updated pics.

    I have yet to see a V10 that stickers as much as this one (179k). It truly was spec'd out perfectly with everything available, including the c.f. exterior pkg.

    Now, on to the fun part...... WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! I expected the power to be there, but this thing literally has my head snapping back against the head rest!
    Not sure if the exhaust and Carbonio intake have much to do with it, but nonetheless, it is fast!

    I think I'll be selling the wheels pictured on the car, and putting my HRE's back on. Might even sell the original (never used) 5 spoke titanium wheels complete with brand new rubber, and TPMS sensors.. hmmm, what to do?









    And the delivery...

    Awesomely equipped! Lucky we didn't hear a scrape when the transfer driver sped down the ramp. Great ride! Better clear-bra the goodies if you drive her a lot.

    I have one small question - the hardwood floor in the pictures, how does your family feel about you parking the V10 in the lounge or have you spec'ed out the garage too ?!

    Very sweet indeed, although hard to see what else you can add to that I look forward to seeing the evolution in due course.

    A new carbon diffuser (V8 style, I think) just went on ebay Germany for 300-something Euros a few days ago...

    Whoever won that got a good deal! I would need a V10 diffuser but not willing to put big cash into it as the part doesnt standout enough. Still great part to have tho!

    WOW! What a beautiful car! I wish you would come to Road America just so we could see it.

    My question is...how did the driver get into the car to drive it out of the trailer? Did he crawl through the window or is there a panel that opens and lets the door open?
