On 9-20-05 I will be with the XLR-V as well as the Classic XLR at the Bondurant driving school in Arizona for a few days. As I have said all along, to be a premier XLR dealer you need to stay on top of the newest advances.
I have always felt that the type of owner that is looking at an XLR, SL, SC430 or to a lesser degree the XK8, is willing to purchase their XLR anywhere within the country as long as they are working with a true product knowledgeable XLR Sales Executive.

Today I spent my day in a comfortable 106 degrees in Mesa Arizona(Bob Bondurant) High Performance School of driving. The huge improvements in the 2006 roadster made the XLR feel like a totally new vehicle. One of these examples is to the power steering cooling system made the roadster feel responsive even after hours of driving in this extreme heat.
The Suede/Leather all Ebony interior (seldom seen in photos) in the V series, I will be posting a lot of updates and great photos on the Classic XLR & the XLR-V. The Beautiful stance of the XLR-V, with it's 19" 10 spoke Sterling Silver finish wheels was breathtaking in the hot Arizona sun.
Today I spent the day driving the Mercedes SL, Lexus SC430, and the Jaguar XK8 along with the XLR on various road courses.
Tomorrow, I will be spending a greater part of the day at the track and out and about driving all the competitors in a head to head street comparison.
Stay Tuned!

Thanks for the update Allen, sounds like you are having a great time. Look forward to the updated photos and more information on engine heat issues, brake fade (or lack thereof) and how well the new tranny holds up.

A minor note of clarification for anyone who may try to contact Bondurant by looking up the number in a phone book or by calling information: the school is located adjacent to Firebird International Raceway in Chandler Arizona, not Mesa. A small point, but maybe important if you want to call. ;)
