I took delivery yesterday of the Continental that I ordered back in October. It is a 3.0 AWD Reserve series with the climate and tech packages, Revel audio and 30 way massaging seats. I had just returned from a test drive when I took the picture below so the car is dirty already from these sloppy Minnesota streets.
It is actually a bit quicker than I recall from earlier test drives. With the 400 HP engine, you get a 3.39 axle and it really does jump off the line. I haven't driven it very hard yet since it has no break-in miles but I think would hang with my tuned MKS for a short distance.
My plan is to get a tune after I drive it for 1000 miles or so. The main thing that I would like is for the transmission to shift more quickly and firmly. A tune can take care of that and any additional HP and torque will be icing on the cake.
I fully intend to take the car to the track a few times next summer and will likely be the only Continental running the quarter mile!
