I mean literally - in yesterday's dry low-40s weather, mashing the gas in 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd would bring wheelspin. In 2nd it would bring wheel hopping too, which made it very interesting to say the least...

I thought the ride quality was acceptable, the interior also acceptable - but that the chassis has more power than it can handle. Wheel hop is inexcusable in a $70k car, IMO.

The inability to use more than 1/2 throttle in cold weather (and in the wet too I imagine) would be very frustrating to me. But put a set of sticky tires on that car and I bet it would make an amazing trackday car... Who knows - maybe some of you with superior driving skills and a better tolerance for the unexpected would welcome these challenges. But for me, the "regular" 400HP version would probably work better.

Has any one of you driven one? The driver was complaining about a lack of feel, could not feel what the car was doing. I'm wondering if it's built into the car, or caused by the runflats.

A very impressive car, no doubt. But not an unqualified stellar achievement IMO.
