Today I departed Fort Worth on the first leg of what has turned into a six week road trip that will take the McLaren to Las Vegas, Colorado Springs, Chicago, Rapid City, Memphis, Biloxi, Pensacola, Fort Rucker, Orlando, New Orleans, and finally back to Fort Worth. Today's run was just over 9 hours, and 600+ miles. I was able to average 68 mph and 24.6 mpg for the day, including some sections that wound the turbos up significantly. This is an amazing vehicle. It was comfortable, fun, engaging, and performed flawlessly. The K40 performed as advertised on those wide open TX and NM highways. Being able to ID sources from the front or back really helps in building situational awareness. The additional 10 minutes per fuel stop to answer questions and have pictures taken was the only drawback. Really looking forward to seeing how she performs over the continental divide at altitude, but with the turbos I don't expect to notice it at all. Wish some of these western states still had Unlimited speed limits...
