I waited 8 months and 11 days for this...
and it's F*CKING SICK!!! Holy ****, I love this car! Been driving since 3 PM today after I left the lot. The torque, THE TORQUE. MAN, it's EVERYWHERE. I can't get over not having to downshift all of the time. I guess my anemic Civic just tortured me that way.
I've put this baby through her paces today. SICK three-lane, lane changes and third gear, tire squealing sweepers. It's amazing how much fun you can have during break-in. I love the 4KRPM shift light, really keeps me in check.

those could be the best silverstone pics yet. You should give them to nissandriven. Did you take them?
Good luck. Post some more pics when you get time.
I was bumming about getting the silverstone, but now I'm pumped.

The silvestone's a great color, when I took delivery of my vehicle I saw another one being delivered in silverstone (mine is Chrome Silver). Silverstone is dark in the shade but in the sun it's almost the same color as chrome silver. I like the color-changing a lot.

wow !!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent pictures.... and that Silverstone...
Other colors keep attracting me... but everytime I see a picture of Silverstone -- I think that is the one for me...
I will be taking a test drive next week... FairladyZ Silverstone... 6 speed..
So far I have seen the Sunset and Chrome Silver at dealers' showrooms .... have seen the Daytona on the street...and can't wait to see the Silverstone in person.
Droidekaus... have a blast breaking it in... !!

LOL! Thanks for the compliments, guys. Yes, those really are my shots. The camera's a Nikon Coolpix 990. I just happened upon the location today (a church of all places 
) and the lighting and shadows were just perfect, so I pulled in for a few pics.
Here's a couple more. I hope to get some twilight shots tomorrow night with xenons blazing right before the sun goes down.

droidekaus - You've made believers out of the non-believers. You have shown them the error of their way! You have brought forth light from darkness!! You have shown us all that Silverstone is... "DA BOMB"!!! 
Since you took the pics in front of a church, I thought I would preach a little bit. Whew... I'm all worked up now.
