Was there a subtle hidden meaning in the length of the video...

I agree. That might be my favorite in combo with the striped hood. If we both nab allocations, we’ll have to make sure there aren’t two in TX with the same spec. Without PTS, though, that might be hard / impossible to do across the community.

Strange that we haven't seen video reviews from any of the most famous and highly regarded reviewers. It's as though they wanted only the B-list guys to review it.

Yes, it is expensive, yes it always going to be a garage queen, but what a collector's item...


Interesting summary.

My 65 911 is an antique but 50mph feels like 150. I’d go w/out a modern p-GT car before I would a p-AC.
You should try a Miata.

I've said it before... and I'll die on this hill... Guards Red is the best colour offered for this INCLUDING the standard PTS selections!

Our policy is to never do the same colour twice… this looks really good to me and red is an easier colour to “accessorize” around.

I’m either doing black to hide all the cut-outs and black plastic better or red cause I just love it, busy-ness be damned. No wp either way.

Oh yeah, the RY media car with matching deviated yellow stitching. That would be my choice if deviated stitching expands

Behind Glass podcast: spend some time on the SRS. “It’s an epic occasion car”, as several on here have said. Too loud and roof too much of a faff for regular use.
