Picked her up yesterday around 5pm. I'm still in shock that it's finally here.
I'm keeping this short as I plan on doing a full write-up after a week or two with the car. Just a few things, both good and not-so-good:
1) it's gorgeous and gets plenty of attention
2) I'm in love with guard
3) the recaros are good but the bolsters actually impede arm movement when dialing in some heavy lock
4) the PP is great, but I'm having serious reservations about the 3.73 final drive... I much prefer the non-PP rear end so far
5) the manual is fantastic but I'm noticing inconsistency with the shift action depending on what gear I go in
6) it's big... this is not a car you become entirely comfortable with if you're coming from a smaller car. I've got a good driving position, but there are some niggles I have with the user interface when it comes to feeling like I've got the "perfect" positioning. Haven't found it yet
7) fast, linear power delivery with more than adequate low-mid range shove... needs more power, or maybe...
8) it needs to be louder. Much louder
9) that turning radius.
10) everyone loves the pony 'welcome' lights that project from the door handle more than anything else.
11) not a fan of how bright the MFT screen is at night; won't go dark enough.
12) this PP-equipped car feels much more at home when being pushed. Maybe I haven't adjusted to it just yet, but it feels RIGHT at home when being driven at about 6-8/10ths.
13) what break-in? I've been doing plenty of WOT runs and varying up the speeds. Tires are a bit slick but it's gradually going away. I've got 100+ miles on the odo so far.
I'll get back to this thread in a week or two with something that isn't written like a Buzzfeed article. Stay tuned!
