Get acquainted with the REVS

After you've spent what you believe is an adequate time letting the engine "break-in," start learning the relationship between the torque curve and RPMs.... especially if you have the manual tranny. Aside from learning the "just right" clutch action, get used to getting the RPMs up.... to get full benefit of the available power-on-tap. (Ex. >3K RPM). Under that, just learn to live with the fact that with this NA rig... some aggressive soccer mom in a minivan has the potential to beat you off the line during DD.

But... in the curves... oh in the curves... learn how to deal with a perpetual smile on your face!!

Congrats on the new ride!
