This ones in FL. but clearly has all factory packing still intact (at least in the pics)

This is the 3rd one I've seen incl. mine (not in person, just online)

NOW, if it would only STOP RAINING!!

Actually, now that I think about it - it was all grabber, no black roof. He has some of the plastic still on it but w/150 miles but it's registered and driving. ;)

I like to disassemble things.
Radio delete block-off plate - never thought I'd consider that hardcore but I do now.

Awesome ride. Enjoy the shit out of it.

I normally like stripes on these cars but yours with the black roof looks outstanding. Ties in nicely with the rear spoiler and front splitter.

Yeah, you picked a sweet color combo there, dude. I'm not a huge grabber fan but with the black roof, spoiler and other black accents, you ticked all the right marks on that order.

One of my local dealers has a petty edition s550. I thought that combo isn't even close to how nice this one is.

Congrats on that car, it looks terrific and is one rare puppy the way you have it configured.
I agree that not only is that a great looking car but if we look at production numbers for the 2016MY I believe there were only ~41 base model 920A cars built for America with only 1 car in TY and 2 cars in RR.

Who knows but maybe your R model might be in that same company?

Congrats on an outstanding looking car and IMO the radio and A/C delete makes it that much more cool!

:cheers:

Got the chance to put 230 miles on the car this weekend.

Had some time today as well to install the Contiforce Contact Tires with the Project 6GR gloss black wheels. To the trained eye (a lot of us on this forum) you can tell the difference. . . but to MOST people (98%) they look the same as the CF wheels.

They definitely have more concave, which is somewhat concerning especially on the rear wheels where the caliper just minutely clears the concave of the wheel.

Some lads I've spoken to on track duty with the 6GR wheels actually have some minor contact between the caliper and the wheel - but no metal debris. Maybe this has been discussed here before?

These replicas won't see track duty. . . and now that hypothetically I can perform some wide open throttle accelerations - these new tires are so green and have sketchy traction that I'll wait a little bit longer.

I got a little sideways leaving the shop today with some lightly spirited throttle.

I have yet to see the caliper make direct contact with the barrel on a 6G wheel. I have seen photos where track debris passed between the caliper and the barrel that marked up both the wheel and the caliper.

^^^That has been my experience. I will be going with another set of wheels for track duty and use the 6G R-specs for street duty.

You do realize you live in Washington, right? ;) I lived there for 11 months - the LONGEST 11 months of my life! Congratulations on finally getting your baby! Give her a hug for me?

Got a call from a good friend of mine today offering up to meet halfway between our two states and get a cup of joe..... with the weather fair (not raining) I accepted and took a nice 200 mile round trip for some coffee and pics. For those of you debating the 6G wheels. . . you can see the concave difference pretty clearly as my friends running the CF wheels and I'm not.

Great Pics Justin!! I bet it was a fun trip and it sounded like the end of the world when both of you had your right foot down in sport mode. You'll have 1k on that soon!
