Be safe, take your time and get used to that power first especially in the rain.

Have fun man. It took me a month form start to finish to get mine delivered to the driveway and I was loosing sleep and day dreaming of what to buy which I did with some stuff before it even came. See how much fun these guys have and all the shared info it make you get more excited. Enjoy I was stoked just like you.
Peace.

Congrats ...

Here's a hint ... When it gets sideways, you can prolly save it,
but be ready for the reverse correction when it takes off the other
direction.

Good Luck ... Get it to a driving school so you know what it and YOU can do!!!!

Do like I did the very first time I drove a Lightning.

The salesman threw me the keys and said
GO AHEAD take as long as you want (he didn't come)

I started it up, pulled out of the parking lot, stopped dead,
and jumped out my mudder fricking seat and stomped the pedal
as fast and hard as I could straight to the floor board.

Then I got on the parkway and stomped it again to well over 120, then got off the parkway stopped dead on the service road and power braked the ever living crap out of it,
GOT DAM REV LIMITER )*@$^)@%$^@)%$^@)%$^@%$
then did it all again on the ride back.

I was kind of glad thats not the one I actually bought
I think Half Life ended up with that one


I’m a self-acclaimed Professional Driver, and all my testing is performed under controlled conditions on a closed road. Street Racing and Reckless Driving is Illegal, “DO NOT” try this at home".

BE CAREFUL, like I keep saying, get some seat time in........

I had to wait a long time to get my truck to. You'll love it! Just be careful in the rain. The first "mods" you can do are: disabling the autolock feature,(annoying) disable the beltminder,(very annoying), change your fuel filter, (just to be safe) and get a pcv valve kit from Ebay. Post some pics when you get it!
