Less 36 hours till my snake arrives, don\'t know if I can take it

The anticipation is ripping me in two :crazy: . Actually cutting into my progress at work (day dreaming). The most powerfull car I have ever driven is a camaro z28 and my current Infiniti G35 so I know I will have to take it easy until I get used to the power. Anyone have any driving tips or cautions for my first time taking her for a spin?

If you are in second gear at low RPM and someone tries to race you - don't slam the clutch in, rev it to higher RPM's and then drop the clutch. It is a high torque car and will teach you a lesson.

Dont hammer it in the corners... Or youll get a snakebite.
Mine was spun 180 on highway ramp (by my unexperienced friend).

Enjoy, you'll love it! :2tu:

I would like to be there when it arrives, for a picture.

Let the tires warm up before punching it, or it'll get side-ways on you. I always said you just had to learn to drive side-ways with them, and be ready for it to break loose(when your not expecting it is when it will bite you). The old posi-trac rear-ends had more control during drifting, but the limited slip takes a little longer to get used to. Great to have you join, you'll love it. Tom.

If your showing off in front of friends and frying your tires in first gear, be careful when shifting into second and still trying to fry the tires, it will go sideways on you quickly! Dont ask how i know this ;)
