Did you get Sport Chrono+? Looking into the matter it might be useful if used for data acquisition!

I have a friend who was laughed at by a dealer because he wanted an RS with AC and Radio delete. Only wanted one option. Guess what it was?

Lightweight headlights. Li-Ion battery. Ceramics. Sticker delete?
(puh-leez don't say he wanted the fob watch on the dash ... :)

ps. about the only disappointment given all the hybrid stuff clearly already available in the factory is an engine-driven a/c compressor and power steering instead of electric for both (and mounted up front where they're needed and their weight is a 2x improvement ... removed from the rear, relocated between and born by the front wheels and removed from parasitic drag on the engine ... I think that's such an easy thing given the GT3R Hybrid ... why not?)

One options: fire extinguisher!

Wants to trailer it to the track, so no lift. Not really into driving it on the streets so no Lithium Ion. Cheaper options for a lighter weight battery post factory and looking at a wider range of brake options.

Dealing with the wait by ordering parts...

Carnewal... Clubsport rollbar, rear Clubsport carpet, Schroth belts
FVD... mounting plates
OG Racing... Brey Kraus sub strap cross bars

All being shipped direct to my dealer for install before delivery.

Do you guys have any explanation as to why my RS #3125 is still not on a boat? It was completed on 5/12/2010.

This sucks

anyone have the ability to check production timeline for my car? My dealer says they only know the current status which is completed production.

Uh oh... I wonder if thats the one that got pranged during the test ride.

PAG isn't always the best about updating the status. In reality mine is likely still sitting in the port and yours is probably on vessel getting near the port.
