I think I'm going to have to go thug spec (black) as well, as the bright colors with the carbon pattern are not working for me at the moment.

They scratch up badly in my experience. I would not spec them again

Just watched the Porsche promo vid. Prediction - Chris Harris will say mega at least once in his review.

Just saw what these look like on the schmee video. Agree they look a bit cheesy.

Seems like a easy decision here!! Hopefully the 675LT gets a deep dive in value once the next one comes out. But for nearly $400K-420K it's not worth the money right now.
You should be able to find a lightly used 675LT coupe in the US for $350k all day. I suspect by emd of summer $325 as well.

First everyone goes ga-ga over all the (carbon, plastic, rice) details, then everyone prefers black to hide them. Go figure...

$350k is the new $150k. What inflation?

+1

AP liked my Nürburgring shirt and mentioned the stitching in the headrest. He sounded a bit proud so I didn't want to say the obvious...

Bardman is correct, they do scuff easily but I find they keep my heals from moving around especially when left foot braking. You can always get them later for cheaper at SC

Very true. But the LT I'm looking at is below in the link. It's just too much when taking into consideration the mods I want. That's an additional $100K to $150K at least on top of the asking price. That's $500K-550K territory. Would it be twice the car of the GT2 RS? I don't think so. It's not worth it to me. LOVE the car as this was the 1st color I saw. It immediately got sold last year. Then this one comes up with low miles. I only want it in Delta Red. Any other color won't work as I've seen the other options.
