Luv your ride, I'm ordering the Identical specs, also adding exhaust NPP option. I'm a little unsure about the M6, never thought I would ever consider an Auto but that Paddle shift has me wondering? Did you drive the Paddle shift? Any thoughts?

Also, I was going to do an exchange and get these wheels Chromed $895, I think they look awesome (chrome only). What do you think? Pics #1 and #2 can be enlarged. I think you'll like the car color also ;-)

EVERYTHING!
The fit and finish are prefect.
The ride settings are great.
The interior is nice. ( Not Plastic and rubber) Leather and Carbon fiber.
The balance of the car is good.
The tranny is smooth with short throws.
The engine has good power stock.
The engine has lots of potential. I’ll be getting into that in a big way this coming spring.
I’m very happy with my purchase.

Hey Tim, I didn't know you went ahead and pulled the trigger. I thought you were going for the stang. Congratulations! An excellent choice. I just got mine as well, and I love it.

It seems that after-market chroming weakens the rims and they may crack. Watch out!

I was in a dealer about a week ago, they had a vert JSB on the floor. I will say the color does look better in person than in pictures. And those are chrome wheels, but they are the older design. The new design only comes in polished not chrome. I hope that changes by the time I go to order my vert.

I have the exhaust option, I took the fuse out that controls the vacuum for the flaps in the pipe. The flaps are open all the time, the car sounds mean. The fuse is under the pasenger floor mat.
So far it has not thrown a code. It's been a week.

NFS: I gave up on the GT 500 after I drove the C6.
