Sick! Love the wheel, think the exhaust looks killer, would like to hear more of it and, think the salad bar is massive, in a good way.

You need to come out to California and let us hear it. Congrats!

Sam you knocked out of the ball park with this car. Congrats!!
First of all this is by far one of the best colors and with PTS come into play. Well done on the mods too. Just the right amount of yellow and purple pieces. And that steering wheel is incredible. Love all the carbon and linger paddles. Enjoy!

Sam- I am interested in the exhaust. What do you think and what led you to go that route? Does it give you significant weight savings? Is the sound much louder than stock? I do not track but what is the longevity factor? Did you have to install that additional wiring so it does not set off red light?

Thanks

70 seems to be a low number after seeing so many UVs coming out of the woodwork! I've had my UV spec'd for a couple months but won't see it until mid-Feb timeframe. Plus do we even know what the real total number of RS will be? I guess we shall see after the '16 production comes to an end

All it did was **** my wife off I will wait to see what happens.
I'll certainly look into the sticker through the dealer route as the Exclusive price is definitely ridiculously priced...just like having to pay for black uprights!
The tow hook solution, even if temporary is a great way to go. I'll have to do some research on how to make it permanent, but I really like the uniqueness with the stalk being UV

Holy...

It looks like you already have our AP Racing J Hook brake discs on that beast. If so, can you please post a couple of pics in which we can clearly see them? I'd like to get them up on our new website and blog. Thanks!

I'm gonna have to find some grease to put on your slicks pretty soon. It's the only way I can outrun you

Yes. Painted the stalk and powder coated the ring.

yeah, I'm not likely to hit the track yet, was busy with mods last night so I only have 40 miles on it, and I'm still at work for a few more hours, sniff.

47 or 49 lbs off the back was the main reason. Glorious sound and no drone second. I am using FVD spacers for the O2 sensors and so far no CEL yet so hopeful it'll stay that way. Not going to do the device that erases CEL because I am not sure if it just keeps that warning or all of them.

Sounds low but they will stop making them after November.
