I'm more than happy with the speed and acceleration of the car. When you get a chance to boot it on some nice open and twisty roads the handling is fantastic and the drive is very rewarding (although not getting the chance to drive like this at the moment as its so bloody cold and icy).
Ps the MP brakes are exceptional as well. Glad I opted for these.
+1 for all of this, except for the fact that I think the handling of this car is particularly awesome in bloody cold and icy weather too

I feel that the N20 sounds nice near the rev limiter, and with the MPP exhaust you get a nice burble on cruise too. It's really in the midrange that the engine sounds like vacuum cleaner.
