California Special Package

[Mitt]

Hi! I'm a proud new owner of a 23 premium GT/CS in dark matter gray. I thought about a Mach 1, ordered one, got a build date just under the wire, and then ran across the GT/CS. I saved a bunch of cash and I truly think this the the sharpest looking model available. Its just plain sleek and classy. No gaudy racing stripes, very comfortable ride, handles really well, and loads of power. The red accents on dark gray really pop.

One question: Mine does not have the 5.0 fender badges on it - a small detail but just curious if this is a small change for 2023, or is this a factory mistake? Its a good thing IMO, cause I'd like to put red 307 emblems on there and don't need to worry about removing 5.0 badges. (V-8 engines are properly rated in cubic inches, forget the metric system!)

Looking forward to summer driving and great forum conversations!

Congrats! DMG does look great on these cars. The red really stands out and the side stripes blend in nicely The 2018 and up GT/CS didn't get the 5.0 badges.

Congrats on your car! I just bought the twin on Tuesday. 2022 Dark Matter Grey. Traded my 21 GT in to get the 10spd auto and 0% financing going on right now.

Now you're making me post my terrible pics I took in my dark garage! Lol. Hoping to get some nice pics in the sun this weekend! (Ignore my cluttered garage also! It was a mad scramble to take my 21 back to stock in 24hrs before the trade in)

I think most people would argue with your definition of "cluttered". Anyway the pics are just fine and the car is beautiful. Congrats!!!

Yeah, you can only start to see the pile of parts and wheels I placed on my girlfriends side of the garage. Lol!

Well, I guess you need some pics from me too. Just refer to Tucker's photos, and youll be there. But my Harley is a bit different, although it too, shares a garage with my GT/CS. Gotta love these toys!
(BTW -- DMD Mustang, Magnetic Fusion -- pretty good color comparison, albeit unintended.)

And no mention of the MGB?

Yes, that's my son's toy. Resurrected from sitting outside for years next to a barn. We spent a good bit of tIme getting it back on the road. Not a restoration, but lots of solid repair work.

For those who don't know - same good history on gt/cs from the guy who wrote the book:

Realized it may have been easier to just post here...
