No, I had only ridden in one before this. It was an upgrade I was eventually going to do along with all the other upgrades it came with, and essentially didnt have to pay any extra for them (bought this car from a millionaire who lives on Nob Hill in San Fran, so his main concern was giving the car a happy home). All I can say is it is insane and feels a like a lot more power than the GTR that I got to have several rides in before. Even without the E85 (was not anywhere near an e85 station on the 395 traveling south for about 600 miles) it is insane with the other mods, but filling it back up with e85 when back home and now at e70 it has a noticable difference from e20.
