not quite. it just means that the dealer is only promised one per model year they pay the fee to opt into. more allocations may be given later in the model year according to sales performance. order banks open in really late March, with deliveries anticipated to start end of June
well, i just found some info out about availability. dealers will be required to pay $3500 to get access to training and one allocation per model year. additional units may be allocated later depending on previous sales performance, but only to dealers who have paid the $3500 per model year fee
well, we can estimate the weight. let's start with Mach 1 vs GT500. Mach 1 weighed about 3900 lbs. GT500 without CFTP weighed just shy of 4200 lbs. those two are very similar in everything except engine and transmission. so we can put that alongside the S650 Mach 1 (Dark Horse), which is about...
yeah, it's gonna be a bit different. here's some specs on both
Gear
TR-9070 7-speed DCT
TR-9080 8-speed transaxle DCT
Note
(gears multiplied by the 1.46 transfer gear ratio for fair comparison)

(2.91 x 1.46) 4.25
2
2.05
(1.76 x 1.46) 2.57

(1.22 x 1.46) 1.78

this is probably the main reason why the NHTSA is having a hard time with this. false positives will do so much harm, more so than the good. it will also boost the inevitable cause to defeat and disable these devices. just look at auto start stop. of course, nobody involved in the actual bill...
for anyone looking to do their own research, here's some good places to start. it's all i could really find on this thing

this big takeaway is that the NHTSA is...
just so you know, in order to swap out the DRL boards, you will need to essentially bake your headlights until the adhesive softens, peel them apart and remove the old adhesive, replace the boards, then re-apply new adhesive. it's very labor intensive. i recommend just getting the ones from...
the wheels are not available for order yet. and even if they were, expect a whole set to be anywhere from $20,000 to $25,000 USD (or $29,000 to $36,000 AUD, if you can even order them over there)
Wow, that's quite a lot of money.

According to Barrett-Jackson, 100% of that 1.25M will go to Breakthrough T1D, a research program to make the life of people with type-1...
that's an S550. i know of at least 5 unmarked S550 police vehicles in AZ, i even got pulled over by one for "exhibition of speed", but got nothing, not even a warning. officer lied to my face about me saying i was fishtailing, and then told the story to a salesperson, which mysteriously had...
i would take some bankrupt brand tire that Walmart has had sitting in the back for 8 years than use a Pirelli tire anyways. i hate how they have no warranty on their performance tires, unlike nearly every other brand
true, but it creates a bit of a hassle that most people who just want a front bumper swap would probably be driven away by since it also requires taking off the side skirt, and if they have any custom fender badges, transferring and aligning those too.
oh yeah, that looks pretty nice. but now think of the dust, dirt, and amount of time it will take to clean it. dark colors are such a double edged sword in terms of appearance
that's why you gotta get the carbon fiber appearance package. front bumper, mirror caps, and diffuser all in carbon...
it looks so good in person. but if i get one, it would have to be a trade in. i wish i had the money to have both, but i certainly don't. i have the garage spot and money for one car only. as of now, the confirmed colors are Shadow Black, Carbonized Grey, Avalanche, Oxford White, Adriatic Blue...
wondering how long it will be until a secondary air delete kit and cat-back exhaust will be out for it? exhaust should be pretty easy since it's just a GT500 cat-back with different tips, and a secondary air delete would also be a hit with the GTD owners too
