Start it up, stall it, then embarass yourself when, after a dozen tries, you still can't get it into first gear without burning the tires. Take a corner too fast, hit a bump, and simultaneously experience the performance with no stability control and scrape the perfectly flat, carbon-fiber bottom. Then, shift from 5th to 2nd instead of to 4th, and almost blow the engine. Finally, turn the key, and instead of the typical half-second when the engine calms down, there is nothing; the internals are so light that the crankshaft practically freezes in place.
That's some of the more memorable points of C&D's article.
