Also, I took her to the local hidden twisty. I learned when the brake assist kicks in, scared the crap out of me. Felt the pedal move forward on it's own. Also power-slid around a recommended low speed hairpin.

Yup, I definitely chose the right car/platform as my first sports car.
Not sure you gonna be doing break-in (that's whole different can of worm topic) & don't wanna be "father" or "strict member", but I do not recommend driving hard that require brake assist kicking in... specially in twisty. It's a last thing you want, when you buy a new car.

Go to local autox and learn to drive there, it's safer and cheaper. You don't need crazy mod to do autox. You can drive it stock and you'll have a blast time.

Just my 2 cents
