Can anyone give their opinion on the gearing? Do you think it's too long, too short, or just right for the track and for the street?

It's too tall to me, but I don't have any track experience with it. I wish they would have made 6th a usable gear other than freeway cruising, but I'm sure we can thank the government for that.

Bigger wing, rear diffuser with extensions, extended front splitter, and louvered hood fenders are the biggies that I can think of.

Thanks. That's interesting because when I went from the GTR to the Porsche PDK the gearing was noticeably taller and I had to get used to it.

I was told there will be 5 - 6 models.

Not sure when they only thing that makes them special is the paint.

Congratulations! The car looks fantastic, it appears quite different than the other cars on that lot. What color is that?

I sat in with a friend of mine who is an "SRT-tech" while they were doing training on this car. They had a head off and the cnc'd portwork on the intake side was something else. It made my manual port work appear as though I had done it while "under the influence".

Yeah that is just amazing. Congrats on that.

Sorry for the dumb question, but the Extreme add on parts - how is that carried when not installed? Does it fit inside the car? i.e when you take delivery of an ACR E when the splitter and rear louves aren't installed, where are the parts?

There is a big *** boomerang shaped bag that it all fits in.
