I know I have only driven it for 30 minutes so far, but one reason we both fell in love is that it reminds us of the AP2 S2000 that I had for 5 1/2 years and 30,000 miles. Some of the reviews of the GT4 seem to say that it isn't a practical daily driver because it is too unrefined. Is there engine noise? Do you feel the road? Is it snug? Do you have to use three pedals (at least for now)? YES! And those are the same characteristics that made us love the S2000.

Agreed - the engine noise, feedback, firmness, 6speed, are all the reasons it's the perfect daily (for me)

We could do a Miami in Miami meet up! Would be difficult for myself being on the opposite side of the states! Would be cool though!

Well that sounds like a hell of a 24 hours! Going from "I'm just going to order a GTS 4.0 and wait" to instead driving away in a GT4.
Very nice!

Wish I were baller enough for PCCB yellow brakes. I will have to settle for red calipers, MB, and platinum wheels for now. Taking delivery of my Spyder mid March!

Huh... I thought production of Miami Blue ended at the end of November? What was your production date?
