it's a butt ton of garbage

is this some kind of regional expression? And is the 'ton' a metric or imperial?

Mmmm, beauty! Love it.

I always thought it was ef ton and butt load, not butt ton. I think this is mixed units.

CONGRATS!!!! I own K2109, the 2019 carbon copy of your car, exact same options. No shark fin but exactly the same, black with black with more black. I tinted the windows and PPF's the front, rockers and around the rear wheel openings.

Instead of driving the car 100 miles then proceding to beat the hell out of it until the engine explodes, do a proper first 1,000 miles and an oil change before getting all 8,250. I'd hate to read another, I have 432 miles on the odo, started by car and tried for 8,000 rpm at the end of the block and something broke story.

Yes it is a lot of money, almost the exact same price as 2019, except I got a great Corona discount last April. But, it is the most fun you will have driving a car. Not just the amazing exhaust note or the perfect shifter and great trans or the tremendous handling or comfortable seats. Trust me there is a lot to like with that car. Except cleaning, black is a tough color to keep clean.

Those tires are not friendly on wet or cold roads, especially on your side of the state. So be careful until you get an idea how they react when you apply power or brakes, especially this time of year. I came thru Montana on my way home from the dealer and got caught in rain and rain snow coming over the mountains and 35-40 degree weather. It made tramlining worse and the tires were not the best, so it was 50mph in that area.

I left the Gurney flap on and don't mind the more agressive alignment, your car will tramline a bit so careful textng and driving.

I'm not a Porsche guy who stepped down, I think BMW's suck and I don't buy the latest trendy muscle car in hopes of being admired at the gas pump. I like Mustangs and Shelby's are at the top of the pile. The flat plane crank lives up to the hype and this car is the most fun I've had on 4 wheels. It's worth the price of admission.

Go to Track Attack next year, take the two day course, it is wroth every dollar. Stay at the Holiday Inn Express a mile further away, eat at the Texas Roadhouse across the street and don't waste money on a hotel that charges for worthless amenties, since the covid got rid of them anyway.

Congratulations jabber!
Yes it’s expensive but the bang for your hard earned dollars is great.
The first time I drove one of these amazing cars was driving it away from the dealership after purchase. What a day that was. Didn’t get much sleep the night before ;-)

Yep i`ll be religious with my break in, i treat my chit like children . I`ve got a Ducati 1198s in the shop with a set of Arrow pipes cannot wait to hear them both idling!!
My plan is to get a set of Pirellis on it before driving it and sell off those cup2s . I`ll be trailering it home.

Idling? IDLING?!?! Good lord man, > 6500 RPM is where it's at! I too have Arrow on the Monster 1200S and I think Termi or Akro are better, but the Arrow is no slouch - it's just a delicious sound.

In addition to the great advice above from @lonegunman (best succinct summary I've seen), recommend browsing these two threads if you have not already:

Re: break in. All full throttle or no throttle is my theory. Seat those rings! A brief time to warm while driving gently and then push hard. I also stayed away from 8250 until I was through the 1,000 miles, but I don't think it's a necessity. Just make sure it's warm first.

Edit: one other thing I would say is don't lug the engine. Full throttle at low RPM IMO is really bad for the Voodoo.

And if you were local, I’d buy the cup2’s from you.

I'd do doughnuts on the way out of the dealers parking lot.

If it's going to blow I'd want it to blow sooner than later.

Congratulations and drive safely home.
