The car swerved ever so slightly and corrected itself. It's like... telling me it's OK.

    But when I reached the freeway, I slowed down to about 75 and then hit it again. Glued to the seat and what seemed like mere seconds, I look down and I'm doing just under 160. The car was SOLID. Didn't really feel like 160mph and gives you confidence to go more.

    The brakes are incredible. I braked on a corner when making a uturn around a bridge and it's as if I could feel the car braking with varying pressure on each wheel. Hard to explain, but again... gives you that confidence.

    One final launch before reaching my destination, this time from 0 to 100 in a flash. No hesitation, no excessive swerving, no roll, stiff steering wheel, transmission shifts faster than my CTS-V, which is the fastest shifting production car under $120k. Just unbelievable.

    That was a great description, TY. Sometimes I read the articles in car mags and they lose me.

    All the exotics I encounter out here seem high revving. I like low end rumble myself.
