My Spyder RS just arrived at the Emden port (well, while I was sleeping LOL)

Now I just need a spot on a boat!

Looks like Marvelous Ace is the next boat leaving? Maybe my GT4RS will be on that one too.

This part is a little bit of a "luck of the draw" as I understand it - my regular Spyder was on the dock for 4 or 5 days before catching a ride if I remember correctly. I just hope it doesn't sit there for a long time.

My 4RS is on the Freesia Leader that left port earlier this week, anyone else on this ship too?

----- Something to bear in mind for all of us anticipating deliveries -----

If your car is scheduled to be unloaded on the US East or Gulf Coast and the ILA go on strike October 1st then all bets are off as far as delivery goes.

Who knows when cars will be unloaded or if the ship(s) will then be diverted to US West Coast for unloading instead.

Is that 3200 confirmed?

I hope it includes SRS counts.

Confirmed, no…think way back when a PAG spokesperson projected 7000 worldwide. Typical North America percent math says around 3000.

No one knows final numbers…

Congrats to the new car. The Dunlops are more expensive than the Cup2s and stickier at temp. So they are not bad tires (but will wear quicker). Be happy you got a full set and not tires from two manufacturers like me

My car is also on this ship destined for Benicia port. Looks like it’s going to Baltimore before the West Coast.

They mix and match the tires?! I'm going to go check mine now...

First thing I checked was if they were mismatched.

My lower side center console trim is Race Tex not leather, is that intended? I like it, but all my other cars were leather...

Finally got some seat time. Car is insane. Haven't even cracked 6k yet. The downshifts and barks and sniffs it's like nothing else I've driven. So much theater even at low speed. I'm in love.

Ride is supple not harsh or jarring, very comfortable. Anyone else have 58 PSI all around on their tires? HA. I guess they forgot to drop the shipping pressures down. That made a big difference in feel.

Exactly how I felt, the noises are simply incredible. I had an exhaust ready to go and now I’m wondering if I should try to enjoy it stock a bit first LOL. Congrats and enjoy!

First car I've owned where I don't feel the need to add an exhaust. It's just so amazing. Can't think of any car that compares!
