I am going to test 2 cars today. One with pasm and one with spasm. Will see how that goes.

Yeah I intend to get that removed. However one dealer said they "couldn't" do it so probably not use that dealer for removal. Anyone have experience getting that removed in the northwest?

Good luck

The cars wouldn't happen to be close enough to your house to see how it might do with your driveway would they?

That would sure be a problem solver.

Is your curb driveway like this? I have to take an angle but don't ever scrape.

Actually yes, it is like that. Seems like I would be safe there. I'll compare when I am at the dealer though.

Unfortunately, it's about an hour drive away, I'll keep an eye out for possible similar curbs around the area.

Better yet, be sure to measure both cars on a level surface (asphalt to bottom of front lip).

.
My dealer in Atlanta, Hennessey, had never done it either when I had mine removed last summer. They were very accommodating however, said they would research it, and called back the next day to say that yes it was doable. One hour of labor and I'm sure it was less than that, but that's the least they'll charge for.

I asked this dealer and they should be able to do it. The car I am looking at has the button style wheel but no multi function so thinking of doing a swap to sport design wheel. Maybe alcantara one. Question here if you don't have heated can it still be added?

Some good news. The plastic front lip of the SPASM car is the same height of my m3 rubber airs dam which I have rarely scraped so height looks good here.

What do you guys think about one with this high of mileage?

I would be looking into getting a PSE installed and removal of Power Steering Plus if I decided on this.
Seems like I see quite a few '13s with much lower miles (under 15K) in the mid $80s. To me the question would be is it worth saving about $10K in return for going with a car with about 20K more miles? I would also want the car to be CPO. Lastly no PSE (which can be added) or SPASM (which cant be added).

I hope this is helpful and good luck with your search.

Yeah not considering this one anymore.

I see some with lot less miles. 18k 2013 4s and a 9k 2s.

One thing after driving them is that I felt the 2s was a bit more peppy in engine response. The 4s listed as pse but was replaced with a borla exhaust which is permanently on. (The button does nothing)

The 2s does not have pse which I am inquiring about getting installed or replacing the borla in the 4s.

The 2s is standard pasm and 4s is spasm which looks nicer I must say.

Which one was that? Most of the videos I remember, such as the yellow .1S vs red C7 Stingray vid, CH has the SPASM car but in the normal mode, which he seemed to like.

For my personal butt calibration, SPASM is perfect in "Normal" for daily driving and SPASM in "Sport" is perfect for twisty mountain roads or track.

That being said, I have made a couple mistakes parking and thanks to black plastic lip, they haven't done any damage. I feel like I'd have screwed up a painted lip by now.

Quick Update.

After much deliberation, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the White C4S and swap the steering wheel, disable Power Steering Plus (Dealer agreed to it), and if I am too annoyed with the exhaust (I think it's actually a Fabspeed supersport) I can swap back to PSE. The button and other hardware is still in the car, just need to hook up an exhaust and potentially sell the Fabspeed to recoup some cost.

What it boiled down to was, when looking at both the C2S and the C4S next to each other, my eyes kept admiring the C4S more, with the lower SPASM stance and the wider fenders.

I will post pics if/when I get it.
