I just crossed the 5k mark. My thoughts:

1) You will be down on power until oil temps hit nominal. There are a number of dynos that show this. Also as a general rule, you don't want to be flogging the car 30 seconds after starting it up. You need to let the oil circulate and get up to temp (5-10 minutes of easy driving), otherwise you'll cause excessive wear in your engine.

2) My foot rest seems solid. May want to get that warrantied.

3) TC can be annoying, but it also does a good job stepping in early enough to prevent spins on a tailhappy RWD car. If I'm driving aggressively enough to spin the wheels, I put it into Sport on the street.
