Some details of note: There are some interesting details on the underside of the car.
1) In addition to the CF bodywork, there are CF brake cooling ducts.
2) Swaybars are manufactured by H&R.
3) There are dual differential coolers.
4) Exhaust is by Eisenmann.
5) Wheels are made in Italy.
6) Airboxes are much larger than on my CL65.

What do you think about the comments recently made by Jeremy Clarkson on this past Sunday's Top Gear episode. He ripped on it pretty good.

Un-real!!!!
Have you considered blacking everything out? Does it come with a factory clear bra?

cybersam,
I haven't driven the car yet, aside from backing it into the shop for the clear bra install....but Clarkson always exaggerates to make a point. I find his reviews interesting and entertaining, but that's about it. His facts are often off, and this was no exception. He mentioned that the ESP is either on or off...when in reality it has a "sport" mode, which he probably could've used to keep up with that SLR instead of drifting everywhere like an idiot.
Stuart,
It has factory clear protection on the rear fender flares only. I'm getting everything else cleared right now. I'm going to enjoy it stock for now...might do wheels or something else in the future.

Hopefully I'll be driving it tonight for the first time, if the clear bra gets done today.
