Thanks for all the nice comments. I was sold on the color combination since seeing the videos of an earlier prototype in this color at Fuji and certainly would pick the same color again.
Here's a pic from the first fillup (I cropped out a couple people just off frame to the left also taking a picture of the LFA
):
Still haven't hit rev limiter yet. I'll try to get a video of all the rpm limiter stuff. Maybe tomorrow.
Those will come in due time as I actually drive it more.
I will say that the LFA has already well exceeded my expectations in terms of how it behaves on public roads.

Haha, I only did about 16 gallons or so, so not too bad even at today's prices. I also haven't gotten many chances to drive the LFA so only need infrequent fill-ups. The F feels like much more of a pain because of the frequent need for fillups since it's my DD and especially given only around 17 gal of total capacity. The LFA has a much bigger gas tank.

As far as fuel economy - looks like I've gotten around 13-14mpg so far, although most of that has been highway cruising with only occasional rpm modulation.

Speaking of weight, I've received the detailed info on the ML/nav from the factory. The whole thing is around 12.1 Kg or 26.7 lbs.
I am still waiting for the details on the rear spoiler assembly.

Haven't weighed it or anything. FWIW, the certificate of origin listed shipping weight as 3,344 - if this is an accurate actual shipping weight and given we know the LFA ships with all fluids full, this should reflect the car weight in operation.

Less a full tank of gas of course?

I'd be surprised if they didn't ship the car with a full tank given the long transit time by sea. Of course, whether the shipping weight listed is an accurate representation of the actual shipping weight is a different story.
