Took delivery of my Silver-Bullet in late June (after 6 months of anticipation!). It now has 5k on the clock after a 2k road trip from Boise to San Diego last weekend. Turns out all she'll do is 153mph at 6200rpm before the nanny kicks in and is rock stable even at that speed even if the rocker panel skirts flutter and vibrate to the point you think they'll fly off. I'm totally jazzed with the vehicle overall except for a ongoing issue. In less than 60 days I have had it into Jeep three times to try to remedy a slipping problem that occurs under even moderate acceleration with or without ESP engaged. The sensation is similar to if you feathered the clutch slightly on a manual shift car and then side-stepped the clutch so it grabs and jerks the car. Only happens in the first couple of minutes of operation, and then usually only does it once. But if I pull into a gas station or market and the car sits for a couple minutes it will do it again pulling out of the parking lot. It is in the shop now for the third time and dealer has "reflashed" the CPU twice but to no avail. Anyone else have this issue??
