The rear is my favorite part. It looks so much better and more interesting than before. Usually the rear is the weakest/blandest part of nearly every vehicle.

Just got the car in GT5 (cyber grey color), straight out of the box, 12.548 @ 118, 4.220 0-60mph, spins a lot out of the hole, going to try a better tire now.

First try with the best racing tire, 12.065 @ 119, 0-60 3.676, max lateral G 1.16

With the magical oil change 11.797 @ 121, 0-60 3.454, max lateral G 1.25

I'm with everyone else when I say I'm dissappointed with the rear.

Glad to see it dropped some weight tho, Any reports on actual curb weight?

i am 99.98% sure it will not be a dual clutch.

i am in LOVE.

Hope the rear looks better on the road. Interior is awesome.

Only 450 Hp :-(

For all the improvements... they missed the mark in several ways.

I'm not going to say it is ugly.... but it is also certainly not the most beautiful car on the market.
