Talking NEW Crossfire SRT6 OWNER

Finally (almost a month after I paid for it) my silver sapphire blue SRT6 roadster from Texas was delivered this afternoon

First up - gas
Second up - car wash
Third up - ROAD TRIP

After 50 miles of "spirited" driving, I have to say I'm fairly impressed with the car.

I definitely don't care for the "drive-by-wire" throttle lag but aside from that, so far, I think it's a great car. It's a blast to drive, great with the top down, and it's speed is impressive, without realizing it, 100+ mph is staring back at you from the speedometer

When you guys said the trunk was small, you weren't kidding. I had an 1989 Saleen convertible Mustang and I thought it had a small trunk, but at least you could squeeze in a set of golf clubs....not likely here (good thing I don't play golf!).

A couple of SRT6 newbie questions:

o Will resetting the ECU reduce the throttle response lag at all ?

o My windshield washer fluid light was on. I filled it up, and thought man this thing is taking a lot of fluid, so I stopped after about a half gallon or so. Then I saw a large puddle in the driveway. Thought perhaps it was overfilled, but when I turn the ignition on, it still shows as empty/low, so it appears to have a leak. The filler neck goes into the fender well. Is there something common to check that breaks on these, such as a hose that loosens up or such ?
Is it a PITA to get to the washer fluid reservoir ?

TIA,
Brian
