personally i would put the viper hans seats from recaro ( i think) im still thinking of ordering another acr because its that good of a track car and would use it almost exclusively so.
You and your soon will need to do something about the clearance with a helmet. i am only 5 10 and had very little room with a helmet. Think about 1 or 2 inch from roof if i remember correctly. other than that its a great car.

Thanks good idea - will follow up with Viper Exchange they are doing a host of mods.

It's the last of the NA brutes suggest grabbing one. My mistake was ordering the GTS - R special edition it's taking forever should have gone 1 of 1.

From lambo power: K ladies and gentlemen - Today I got official confirmation from a high level exec at the local Lambo dealership that the upcoming Superleggera beat the Porsche 918's Nurburgring Nordschleife track record "by several seconds!" Lamborghini would not release the actual time - perhaps they are saving it for the official launch. The car will be shown at Geneva 2017 and first US deliveries will be in August 2017! This information is not hearsay - the dealership exec got this confirmation while in Italy at the factory!

The HP deficit to the McLaren P14 may not matter! The Superleggera is going to be a game changer!

That all depends on where you're viewing it from. Plus, currently I have no dog in this race, but hopefully I can...

The SL is much lighter better transmission tires newer design makes sense vs the SV on crap tires.

It would not surprise me if Audi pushed out 100 limited editions with better results.

Quick update on the Huracan Performante from LP:
Another independent insider confirmed the car will be called the Huracan LP640 Performante. It will have carbon composite front/rear spoilers with active flaps that give it 7 times the down force of a regular Huracan!!! 4 wheel steering, Apple car play, built-in telemetry system (like the McLaren 675 LT), exhaust like a super Trofeo car!

A little more information today on the down force... Apparently, the LP640 Performante has a patented, never seen before active aero system with flaps under the car as well as possibly elsewhere that is the source of its performance.

And a VERY interesting rear wing. The car will be a WMD!

Talked with the dealer today - it is the Performante they drove it and said it was a game changer all around.

Also the Aventador S - new version of the AV will have a twin clutch.

Thats odd. Most people say just a much better refined single clutch.

Agree asked twice and got the same response.

Especially since I was told there wasn't room in the tub design for the porky twin.

I hope it's true makes the SV more special.
