Took her out for the first real ride, our local shop ride that I'm very familiar with. I felt comfortable but also felt like I didn't quite have the punch that I'm used to. It felt labored at times. It could have been that it was 40F but I didn't feel all that cold. Some of the guys said it's because the geometry is different but if my hands, butt, and feet are all in the same place how could the geo makes that much difference? Is there something I can do fit-wise to simulate the more traditional geo of the Cannondale six13 that I'm used to?
There just is no way of telling from one ride. If your three contact points are in the same spot over the bike then the bike fits. Small tire pressure differences or small differences in weight could all be contributing factors. You just have one data point. Come back and report after a months worth of riding.

BTW, while I am not a Scott Foil fan, this is a sharp looking bike.
