I'm confident it wasn't the clutch pedal...pretty good about using the dead pedal to hold me in the seat.

I've felt it before on the street (barely) on an on ramp acceleration. I hope it isn't a lifter!

The car didn't use any oil...only 37 miles so didn't expect much.

I've got an appt on Friday with the dealer...likely I should pursue my own software (dislike dealerships in general). May see how the PDR Valet mode works...may not want to know what they do though...

Drive mode: Track with the traction control button pushed for 5+ seconds so both dash lights illuminate. That was it. I've heard some is still on, but I couldn't tell.

Alignment: agree on the track setup. The tires aren't badly worn...I'd like to see them last a few commute miles too. Will rotate/clean tires tomorrow.

Another point is with just a driver and both windows fully down, the helmet buffeting is pretty incredible. (two folks it was minimal) I've noticed that on the street - driverside window full down only - the pressure reverberations is something terrible.

Lastly, the rear seat flopped down (likely I didn't latch it properly) and then the right knee 'pad' along the console popped off and fell into my lap at speed. Bit discerning!

Thanks for the responses! The only silver lining to this is after the repair (whatever it is), I will have to take it on track again! This was a bit of a shakedown before possibly shipping it to Germany...:-)

Ferman in Brandon/East Tampa has been good to me. Also, one of their salesguys is on here and has had a couple 1LE's and tracks regularly. Just in case you want a different dealer.
