The comfort mode or whatever will let you heel and toe but isn't the peppiest...not sure if any of these alter suspension so will need to read the manual...haha

I also bought from Loeber. I bought their last new 2020 Cab, before they got a new delivery of 2021 models. It was a floor model that had sat for some time, thus I got a pretty good discount

Yeah, I saw yours there awhile ago but I wanted a stick so had to order...they were very fair on discount to me...so I brought a couple bottles of bourbon for the SA and GM.

Sport plus gives you sport suspension. Sport leaves it on the softer setting.

Congratulations, looks incredible. Is that GT silver or dolomite?

Going full PPF + ceramic or front end only?

Enjoy!

Haven't driven it further but upon reflection of my first date:
-4 way sport plus seats were quickly and easily adjusted to my liking and cabin provided plenty of room for me with great visibility and my head comfortably below windshield (cab)...I am 6'3", 185 with 34" inseam if that helps, ha!
-I messed with the Bose a bit (found an AC DC song!) and was pretty happy with the way it sounded even with top down and motoring.
-The standard front is way more attractive in person than in pictures where a lot of detail is lost.
-The tires/wheels are HUGE...in a good way!
-I'm a pretty agile guy but this car is LOW...need to master my entry/exit methods...
-Only gauge I really looked at was RPM right in center, nice!

Can't wait to get back on Friday!

Dude, you had me at AC/DC!!! I drove mine today and zipping in and out of traffic was nothing short of fun. I can see a speeding ticket I haven't had in 10 years coming any day now. I cannot overstate how comfortable the car is all the time!!

Yeah, suspension seems firm but not punishing.

A whole 325 miles on now and after some highway driving yesterday (top up and down) I can say this car will not be a long trip cruiser for me...the rear tire noise is really LOUD!

I didn't buy it for this reason but even in limited driving I just can't see this car as a daily driver at all like my M3 was...it really is a short trip mess around fun car.

PS, I have a carry bag and my clubs barely fit in back even with taking driver and 5 wood out...so not a very convenient golfers car either. LOL

Beautiful car! SF guy here but happen to be in Naperville spending time with my parents at the moment

I'm considering GT Silver/Bordeaux/Black as well. Beautiful combo.

Did you drive a PDK before taking the leap on a manual? I plan to order a manual too and am curious how the car feels different to the PDK (since that's all the dealer has to drive). I found the PDK a little muted and am hoping the manual feels a little bit tighter.

Did not consider PDK at all. Honestly, this is the best manual gearbox I've ever driven in terms of ease/smoothness/shifting.
