Mine is scheduled to be "shipped" on the 21st. So I am assuming it will be here like the 25th or 26. I want it earlier...any chance??

I hear ya dave..... we need these freaking cars in NOW.

We all have the same ship dates in this area. There was a guy in Columbus, OH (i think) who said he got his... that is about 6 hours west of us.

I am hoping early next week as well.

I think us dc/ NY/ PA guys who have been qouted 3/21 can hope for next friday, the 14th. That seems to be the trend and the rate they're getting here.

I think everyone should be excited, I mean most people are getting there cars early, my car came in a few days than it was post to, so I think its great. Even tho it was pushed back a few weeks, which who knows the real reason. It gave me time to realize that i really want this car and to double check myself to make sure it won't hassle my financinal standings. So .. 30 min till i leave to get my car.

I'm in West Chester, Pa and also have a "ship date" of 3/21. I already sold my car, so the sooner my new car comes, the better. I can't wait. A new car and a new son all in one month.

I second that. This car is driving me absolutely insane. I'm Planning on flying down on Friday to pick mine up (the ship date is this Sunday). By the time I get it back home it will have about 700 miles on it and the real fun will begin shortly afterwards.

700 miles is perfect break-in, however don't keep a constant rpm level. You should always vary the rpm's so as to "show" the rings all different speeds and pressure levels. just a tip from a tech enjoy

I'm aware of that. Will be doing a bit of city driving about halfway through and then when I finally get back home just to make sure.
