Exactly. I didn't order BOSE because it makes no sense in such a car imo.
Though my better half might disagree with you. She likes sitting in the car with the engine off and playing loud tunes to chill between hot track sessions in our GT4. The Bose is perfect for that.
Finally received mine yesterday night.
This morning I took it to my brother in law's shop to have it weighed.
My spec: NON WP, FAL, LWB, PDLS, Iron brakes, cheap stereo with rearview camera, extinguisher, clubsport package with 6 point harness installed and full tank of gas (minus a galon or 2)
3,225 LBS.
After this i immediately took it to the Beauty shop for Xpel and ceramic treatment.
Should be visiting the track this weekend.

Congrats Javier...looks awesome in Shark Blue!
Yours took quite some time to arrive but trust me you got lucky.
Jacinto and the PR dealer owners are in Germany right now because PAG still hasn't found a way to ship cars....it's affecting the whole region.
Let us know your feedback from the track.
Picked up the 4RS yesterday because I can't get it PPF'd until next week. Didn't want it just sitting in the dealer lot for a week. Put 20 miles on it yesterday. 2,000 miles of break in is going to be very difficult. So far the biggest surprise is just how different it sounds than my GT3. They sound like completely different cars. The intake noise even at low RPMs is just amazing. Many people said the car was too loud. I thought it would be overbearing at all RPM ranges. It actually sounds quieter than my GT3 I think with sport exhaust off and just cruising at low RPMs. Easy to have a conversation with someone or hear the radio. I also don't think it feels any firmer than my GT3 on normal roads. People kept talking about how bumpy it was. My friend said he thought the GT3 felt firmer. I know that's not the case, but it doesn't feel any harder. So far I'm in love, and I guess I'm definitely keeping both.

Great to read the feedback. 2,000 MILES break in. That's a lot of patience. With the PPF how much of the car will you do? I dont want to do any of my car then I get it in 11 days and 13 hours. The side scoops certainly got chipped on my GT4 but that was only a small job to repaint them.

That equates to 1462.8 kgs, way above the 1415 Porsche quote. Did you leave your wallet on the seat?
You may only be lifting the car a few inches, but that doesn't look like the right way to do it. I'm guessing the center of gravity is roughly between the seats and engine, which is quite far from the center of the lift, and could fall off. I don't know what that lift specifies for the maximum distance to the center of gravity of the vehicle.

Asymmetrical lifts feature shorter front arms and longer back arms for easy access. Before lifting, the four lift arms would be moved away from the vehicle. Technicians move the vehicle forward, until about 30% of the vehicle sat in front of the column while 70% sat behind. The shorter arms are positioned to specially designated lift points first, followed by the longer, rear lift arms. Asymmetrical lifts are created with heavy-duty rear arms to support the majority of the vehicle’s weight. Along with heavy-duty back arms, manufacturers rotated both columns 30 degrees, so the posts are angled outward while facing each other.

Those are the factory lift points that are being used. You may be alluding more to where the post is vs. the car, but as long as everything is square and the lift raises level, there shouldn't be any issues.

Yeah there are pics and videos of Corvettes doing the same thing. LOL. There is no doubt that there will be more weight off of the back side of the car, but again, Porsche put the lift points where they are. I'm just stating that they are the correct lift points.
I don't see any obvious lift points on that Lotus, and generally most of the time a car comes off a lift, it's due to improperly placing the arms.
