Let me try to answer all of your questions here. First of all LOVE IT! Awesome car. Could not be happier. And that was competing against a G35 Coupe and Z350.
Sticker for mine was $26,300. I got $500 under sticker and dealer cost on options.
Power is great but it's not very...how to say...snappy. Although there is a lot of torque, I find that the acceleration is somewhat...non-linear. It will snap your head back though. The power band is extremely broad. You get solid acceleration down to at least 1,500 RPM in any gear...even 6th.
Handling seems at least as good, if not better than my old Supra. It just feels solid and confident with whatever you put it through. Enough said.
I have not tried any 60-0 skid tests (thank god), but the brakes feel very linear and easy to modulate. I have not noticed any fade. They bite hard when you need them to though.
The shifter is awesome. Beautiful feel, aluminum/leather. "Snicks" perfectly into every gear. The wheel is equally pleasing and road feel is fantastic.
The interior is worth the price of the ticket alone. The seats are uber-comfy. Heat comes on in about 2 minutes in freezing weather. Dual climate, heated seats...
There is nothing I don't like about this car
