That’s a sharp looking car. Ontario Orange is one of my favorite colors. Sounds like you got a good one - enjoy!

If you keep the rpms down you may never notice the difference. I don't believe the L46 motor gives up any daily driveabiity over the base 300hp motor. It just has a better exhaust note. But as the revs climb the power builds up even more and it keeps climbing til about 6000. That's when you notice the difference. It has an exceptionally wide power band. Great fun to drive, at any rpm.
Lovin' the Ontario Orange and saddle combo. Sharp. My BBs original combo also. Don't see it too much these days.

Great feedback, thanks. Might have to push it a little harder occasionally as I normally baby her all the time.
