I hope I never see a post of yours indicating that you've done even 2mph over any posted speed limit.

Anyone with any common sense wouldn't have stretched themselves that far.
They don't break apart below 40, but I think you know that.
And I think it's irresponsible for folks to not be educated consumers. An educated consumer would have done some research, asked some questions, and gathered information before a $60k purchase. To expect a salesman to tell you much of anything other than where to sign is irresponsible.

That every cup of coffee has to have a "CAUTION: HOT" warning on it.

Unfortunately common sense is rapidly becoming less common.

Guess what? Your MPSS's will still get even a stock ZL1 sideways quite rapidly next time you decide to "goose" it when it's 30 degrees outside.
Some of the responses and comments in this thread are ridiculous.
