    :D I ordered from Ron Carter in Alvin, TX on Feb 18. I was told it would take 3-6 months. Then I received a call 2 weeks ago and was told it would be in on April 6. Thursday I was called and told my car was here. I picked it up on friday afternoon. I left for OK city at 6 pm. Got home last night after 975 miles.

    Problems: hard to keep it under 80 mph. I sold my corvette to buy this car and I am not disappointed. You hit the gas and before you know it, you are past 80 mph. That is with 4 adults in the car and stuff in the back. I happened to hit 87 mph without realizing it.

    Milage was down with the load and the speed along with the new engine. My wife was able to get 47 mpg.

    The dealership was great. I had preapproved financing and they were able to beat it by 2.5%.
