Rather than FI, the car needs better gearing. A gear set with VMAX in 6th or 7th would be more in keeping with the car's strengths. Not as fast in a drag race as FI, but it would do what it was...

Mixing orange stitching with a tan interior is your plan? I wouldn't. It introduces a 3rd competing color and might make the tan seem more orangish.

1.78 60' says there is plenty of room improvement on the launch. A stock e-ray will beat that so once they sort that out, I expect they can drop under 9.5.

Drivability isn't compromised by the FPC. Drive it as designed and you'll be fine. If you want to ride around at 1500 rpm and have the car respond with gusto, a C7 Z06 or an eray would be better...
