It was about a week from production to dealer and three days until it was delivered to my house. Part of the reason I had a longer than normal wait from order to delivery was that I got my car as a corporate fleet lease and I guess the dealer in Maryland may not have had a lot of allocations. Lots of luck with yours, I'm sure you will love it

Thanks for all of the comments and well wishes. After putting about 100 miles on the car over the weekend (1 rainy day 1 family day 1 play day) I am certain of two things: the car is awesome and the roads in the lower Hudson valley of NY SUCK. The patch repair and little pieces of gravel that are all over our roads get stuck on the tires and kick up on to the lower parts of the car. I have had times that I was driving so slow to clear off the debris from the tires that I was getting flashing lights from beaters. I was leaning away from spending so much money for Expel, now I can't imagine not getting it. One thing I will say is that the few time I had a clear path and stepped on the peddle it is a beast.

Great looking combo. Love the black wheels on torch red with the red calipers too.

You picked the right color! For the wheels, too!

Hope that you had a blast with it this weekend!
