Looks like Tony got himself a truck!

Thanks for sharing this full review. I guess 2 things really jumped at me:

- Gas consumption on track: 1 tank for 2 sessions

that is costly!

- Sound with MPE: Cool that sound is not as bad as anticipated!

Great read.

Stop reading others' reviews and write your own. Or at least provide photo porn.

Superchargers are currently opened in Drummondville, Cornwall and 2 in Toronto and 1 in BC.

Kingston station is opening in the next few weeks and you can currently reach the nearest station just south of the border and from there make it all the way to California or Florida for free on the superchargers.

Superchargers can give a Tesla 300k range in 20 minutes.

My home charger does 45 kms per hour and my expected electrical costs for the entire year will be about $200.

Car is sick. Love it !

Grats Ants! Call me...wanna see that thing, may consider buying 1.

Yesterday, I went for a nice drive down to Vermont... Had lunch in Waterbury, then a nice dinner with friends at a place they have in Sutton Qc. Nice day for a drive and the colors in Vermont were great.

I took the Mad River Glen road (17?) which wasn't as nice as it used to be (4-5 years ago)

Also took the 100 North which was very nice and then the road right above Stowe which was just beautiful.

Crossed through the border in Richford where my car was searched. This has never happened to me before. It was quite satisfying since the car was absolutely empty of stuff. They are just doing their job.

Now the 911 does not give me goosebumps like the way my M Coupé used too. I mean I had goosebumps seeing her from afar in a parking lot. From any angle. The 911 does not do this to me. (First World problems).

It does hold up quite well in the twistys... I can still make the tail step out. The power is great, the amenities also. The sound is all in the rear... exhaust and engine, so that is a change. But maybe Chris is right, the Performance exhaust would be a notch better. But I will stick to this setup for a while.

Now looking into a set of 18in wheels and Michelin Alpin.

My only worry is my right foot comfort. I have a pain in my ankle while driving. Could it be pedal position? And can this be remedied?
