Sweet!

When you do get there, could you perhaps settle some questions that have been going around?

1) When in M mode, when you floor the gas (past the resistance point), does it downshift? IE what's known as kickdown, does it work in M mode?

2) Will it hold redline? I've read that it'll shift up for you after a little bit, maybe a few seconds or so. I know it's a lot to ask for you to hold the car at redline for any length of time though.

3) Is there any delay when downshifting 2 gears at once? This one is a lot more subjective, of course, because what seems quick to one person may seem slow to another, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info! It helps make the wait for my far a little easier. At least, I think it does. It might actually be making me more excited and thus more anxious to get it!
