Two things:

1) Coffinhunter is absolutely correct. Do take the motor to near-redline at least a half dozen times every time you have the car out. This may wear the motor a little faster, but it also lubricates every nook and cranny and gets that variocam working fully, which is important for motor health.

2) Your rear tires will wear out awfully fast due to the camber settings. This is normal, and you should budget for a new set of rear tires every 12k miles and a front set every other set of rear tires at the least. Front tire wear has a lot to do with how hard you corner. Note that you do not have to spend $1200+ on Michelins! I run Hankook Ventus V12's and a whole set is less than $600 installed.

That's a beauty. Enjoy it!

PS - Buy some roll bar inserts off eBay. They make the car look a lot better from the back AND they reduce wind when driving top down.
