Finally got it last night...
The car is unbelievable. I test drove it about 3 miles but never took it above 45mph. If you haven't driven one, everything you have heard about it is true. It makes the 06' S4 I had feel like a Honda. The car is an absolute rocket and the handling is insane. I have already pushed it hard in turns I know than the S4 and I don't think I'm anywhere near the limit. The car also gives much more feedback, BMW like steering feedback. Much like the S4, it doesn't feel like you are going anywhere near as fast as you really are. It revs up much fast than the S4 and is never straining. And the sound - let's just say I drove to work with the sunroof open and it's about 25 degrees here in Boston.
Does anyone else experience a "second wind" at about 5000rpm? Can't wait to see what it's like to run up in that rev range after break in. I had to try it, but didn't pass 7000 and it was only for a few seconds in third.
More pics to come over the weekend, but here's what I have so far:

I say your front plate = ticket pretty quick
Equipment violations in MA count against your license and insurance rates.
It's hard enough to get away with no plate.
Yours screams out "here I am"
Beautiful car
Stay safe

I've been pretty lucky about this.
Been pulled over three times with that plate. Frist two State cops laughed. Third one didn't notice. It's funny when there are people in front of me. Most don't notice it but the ones that do tell their passengers and you can see everyone turn around to look at it. I get a lot of thubs up on the plate. I keep the real one in the trunk incase I ever need it.
I did get a parking ticket once and they sited the plate as MA PLATE: TIHSYLOH. I never paid that ticket!
