Damn, I just drove it and its pretty sweet. Much like Scott said, you end up going faster then you think you are. It also feels slower, but in reality is much quicker than my car. I got going like 90 on an on-ramp without realizing it. And it feels like the redline should be at about 4k (just from the "feel" I'm used to with my car) but you really have 3.5k more to go.

The brakes feel awesome, but as for heel-toe braking, its much harder to do at street speeds/braking power. Probably much better for heel-toe on the track when you are braking harder.

All in all, I'm jealous.
