There is a black one coming up at the Barret Jackson auction in Florida next month, with no reserve. It's on their docket now.

I'll keep dreaming. Thanks for the advice.

You can go 9500 rpm (rev limiter).

Been talking about it on Instagram.com/aronmeystedt if you want to see pics.
LOVE the sound. It's unreal and I can't get enough of it.
High RPM and downshift blips are legendary!
Single clutch is slow and rough, but I am getting used to it... only thing that feels lacking is a quick shifting transmission, but I know Lexus did the single clutch for a reason.
Very smooth power band, pulls strong. Ride is rough, but expected it to be bumpy and sensitive to the road. Seats are pretty comfy - they hold you in very well... there's carbon fiber everywhere (a lot on the interior)
Mine is in perfect condition, not a scratch in or out.
I've never had a v10 or a car of this caliber, so I'm just blown away by the sound and overall quality.

watch the Nat Geo megafactories episode. the story, quality, sound and engineering effort is why I bought one. SO happy to have one!

Thanks. Did you try adjusting the shift speed to 7? The transmission speed is different based on how much throttle you are applying, shift speed and which mode you are in. I believe it shifts the fastest when you are full throttle, but would become slow when you are driving in the city for reduced harshness.

yep.
it does depend on how much throttle I give it.
it's decently quick at WOT.
