The household workhorse is a 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R LTD (my fourth Sub wagon), but Evos spank STI butts. :))

So I got a call from a friend at Lexus.  Apparently my new car had arrived.

Btw, it takes 8-12 hours to prep for delivery.

Also have an '09 WRX. Stuck an Eclipse AVN4430 navigation/headunit in there and installation was fairly painless as far as these things go. Subaru has an OEM double DIN radio bezel and the aftermarket fit kits work pretty well. Going for anything above mediocre SQ is a bit pointless though. Too much cabin noise.

Eclipse is gone.  Only OEM now.  They've left the aftermarket.

  You can fix cabin noise btw.  I have a friend w/ a PoS Lancer completely smothered in Dynamat, etc.  Choice of tires is huge too.  My Legacy has a drag coefficient of .30 which contributes to it's Lexus quiet.

Gratz, nice car!  
 
Does your 599 have E-diff?  Verify traction control is enabled.  It is a FR GT car unlike a corner carving 458.  Maybe you're just not used to more precise throttle modulation and instant response?
 
Use those Brembos to late brake and go fast in and slow out, throttle when you get pointed safely till you get a better feel for it.  
 
(This is why I shake my head at people that think a ZR1 is streetable w/ all that torque going to the back wheels.)

anaxilus, i am getting used to it. you are right. you cannot hit it until it is pointed straight and it is touchy. when i had the diablo 6.0 i had to floor it before it really came on. the 599 you can give the pedal like a 1/4" and it is going. i am not senna or csaba csere for that matter by any means. i just will probably never be able to really push it. even in a straight line it will break the wheels loose before i even realize it. it is not really a road car. i'd hate to try the actual track car it is made after. i envy those that have that kind of skill.

btw, that lexus looks amazing. i kind of wish i got that lol. it is the first time i saw under it.

astro, yeah probably the 3. especially the speed one.

I'm a black rim fan for sure on most of my cars.  Looks great and hides brake dust.  That would be perfect for short jaunts down to the grocery store!
