Finally, she is here. Have to say, in the flesh the car is MUCH better than I expected and am totally SO happy.

Please stop posting these UV pictures. The wait becomes unbearable. Wait. Please post more pictures. One picture is unfair.

Congrats.

UV is like a rabbit right now, every new RS arrival seems to be one! That being said, mine went into production on Nov 25 and the wait is killing me!

I have over a 1,000 miles in it now and here is what I think so far, street driving only:

1-If you are big (mainly tall, I am 6'4"), your neck will hate you as you get in the car. The roof line drops a lot and unlike the 911, I have to tilt my neck all the way to the left to avoid bumping my head, works most of the time.
2-Once in, it's like a fitted glove. A fraction more room than the LWBs in the RS.
3-Turbo lag is mild but evident. I got over it. More noticeable than the TTS but still OK.
4-Acceration is insane.
5-Acceleration is really insane. If it didn't have turbo lag, it would compete with the 911 Turbo. And that's with rear wheels only.
6-Steering is one of the best I ever had. Incredibly sharp. I hate to admit it but it is, without a doubt, more direct and precise than the GT3/RS.
7-Ride quality is superb in the softest setting. Awfully harsh in the tightest. Like the M cars, you can set your own parameters, so I have sport exhaust on, Sport+ transmission and throttle response and comfort suspension.
8-The exhaust is the best that AMG has ever made. I traded in my S63 and the difference is very noticeable. Idle sound is sublime. The burbles and farts are much more natural than what I had in the Panamera GTS!!
9-The interior is gorgeous but they missed the mark when they used an iPad-like screen for navigation, wish it was better integrated. Very comfortable and I think long trips doable. Golf clubs fit easily. Beautiful car, long hood and all.
10-Handles incredibly well in spirited drives and dare I say, close in characteristic to the 991!

Bottom line is I love the car and if it wasn't for the neck problem during entry, I would have said "I'll keep it forever".
