So after a couple of weeks…. The new menace…
If there was ever a car designed for me… I think this is it.
The specification includes everything you need, and nothing you don’t, for the intended purpose.
A1 Black over Silver wheels with Black Callipers.
IMO a case study for ‘less is definitely more’.
Non-WP - because I have always preferred the cleaner look, and then this budget is reserved for actual performance related mods and consumables as/when required.
Steel brakes, for me no point speccing PCCB only to take them off and put them in a box.
Other options:
Front axle lift, Extended Leather with arctic-grey, Clubsport - of course, Bose, Light design, Smokers package. PDLS +, Race-tex sunvisors, Illuminated door sills, seat mounted extinguisher (as it’s a bit smaller/neater) might change for firestick anyway. Door pulls and seatbelts in black.
Car has already been away for a few visual tweaks (that i have been hinting at) as well as full PPF and coating etc, and track day preparation in progress.
No update on driving impressions until i have validated the setup as they come all wrong from the factory anyway. Only thing to say is that even during early running in…. The car is rapid, and i cannot even open the taps yet.
I had my PEC day a few weeks back in a centre car, and forfeited handling circuit exercises in favour of essentially a 90min extended test drive on local A + B routes and a cruise for a few junctions on the M1.
Back to my car and I was very fortunate to be able to see the car as it landed at dealership and I was able to do the unwrapping myself ahead of PDI.
I also purchased 1L of the new C40-GT oil. £28.30inc
Allocation story is an interesting one and a long journey since before model launch.
At one point, I actually had 2 cars for a short while. But in the end - No strings, no games, no overs - pre- price rise.
The next iteration of the Track Day Toy is here, the new adventure has already begun…
