Hi,

If its a new car, take note that demo unit will not squeak, creak or rattle. But you will gain these 'features' on actually purchasing one.

Also make sure you have a good laugh at the sound system.

Also#2, if the demo 'person' makes you feel inadiquate with such comments as 'Your not used to such a powerfull car, so be gental and dont go very fast else you'll crash' respond to this with a full bore launch, this tends to make them shut up.

Don't push it too hard, get a feel for the car as the front diff will make the car handle very differently(Very good when you get used to it).

Get your entry speed right into bends Don't lift off round corners.

Also if it's a demo car it will feel quite tight and 'slow' they take about 8-10K miles to loosen up.

Enjoy it and let us know how you get on
