Wow, awesome spec, true drivers spec with a subtle but nice interior, love the deviated stitching. If you don't mind, I am curious, did they give you a limit on the spec? did you win the base car and pay on top for options?

Thanks! That was my intention, to make it a "driver's car."

A build sheet is provided with an MRSP; costs over that I covered.

So this is the SECOND you win? Man, you're a lucky bastage. Ha ha. And yes, nice spec. Hey, do you know by any chance how much weight the PTV package adds? Just curious about that. I didn't get it, since I won't track the car, didn't want the extra complication and maintenance (it reportedly eats brake pads, and clutch plates), and neither the extra weight (whatever it is). Plus also didn't feel the 2.0T would need it, so decided to get other options instead. But got manual, PASM, and sport chrono. And plan to install the GT4 short shifter right away. Enjoy it.

Wow great spec and what a win for you. I buy a ticket every year but no wins yet. Glad someone on the forum won it. Enjoy your amazing free car and buy a lottery ticket while you're at it.

I don't have the exact weight of the PTV package, but I can't imagine it adds much if any, significant weight. The overall impact on handling would likely be minimal, especially considering the lower weight of the 2.0T. For me, though, the thought of a $90K+ sports car without a limited-slip differential feels almost sacrilegious! But I understand your choice—especially if you're not planning to track the car and want to focus on other options like manual, PASM, and Sport Chrono. I also think auto blip/rev matching should be a standard option in this price range!! I will have to look into the GT4 short shifter - I am pretty impressed with the shifting as-is, at least for now!
