Ok, so Friday & Saturday we got a chance to wash the car and really check it out more closely and take it out for a nice drive and such. Here are a few pics of it on the same day just different times during the day. The color shift of this paint is UNREAL!! The first 2 and next 3 pictures, time is about 2 hours apart Friday at 6 pm vs 8:15 or so. It goes from a pinky purple, a la Viola30 from the Diablo 30th anniversary to a more Joker purple when the sun is not on it. And in the dark, it's very stealth and looks deep purple (no pic). The last two are around 12 pm and then around 8:45 Sunday. It's an amazing amount of shift. It's mind blowing.
It drives amazingly well. Super compliant & smooth on the resurfaced roads around us, and even on some cruddy roads with a few patched potholes, not jarring at all. One could EASILY daily drive it. Then there is the noise! HOLY HELL, WHAT A SOUND!! With the prior installed 3rd cat delete, the car sounds rather epic. It's a deep growl that goes to a loud scream once you get close to 5K and goes bat**** crazy above 6200! Redline is 7K. I said it before to a few friends, but this V6 sounds better than the Ford GT Ecoboost. It really sounds like a race car, I'm not joking. Not even a few minutes from taking it out the first time, and passing the local Domino's, a guy & his GF/Wife walked to their car and once he heard "something" he saw this purple car and stopped dead in his tracks and you can literally see his head follow us up the road as we passed. Then not even a 1/4 mile up the road, a girl was filming us and waived once we saw what she was doing.
Frankly, I think most people are confused to what the car actually is and the fact it's bright purple. When we pulled into Cars & Coffee, people just stopped and all stared! Once we got out, a swarm of people came over to check it out. I dare say (as my wife has already said) it gets more attention than the Lamborghini. Probably because again, no one knows what the hell it is, lol, and that there aren't many around at all.
She truly found a gem. Car just turned 4,100 miles, and barely any flaws on it. Car is PPF's by Lotus as standard equipment, and while washing it, she opens the driver's door to do the windows, and sees a sticker...Ceramic Pro!! No way!! With the 3rd cat deleted, this doesn't really need anything for some time (other than these screens that cover the open top front fender vents and rear opening behind the tires from stones getting kicked up).
Maybe down the line, get the aftermarket titanium exhaust (which is rather reasonable tbh). But all in all she is thrilled and said she enjoys driving it more than the Gallardo. It's that easy and that fun of a car. Loads of personality and the looks are what makes her and I smile and laugh. Thanks for the kind words everyone. Now that I experienced my attainable dream car, I WANT ONE!!
