FYI new M2 comes with Vernasca leather which is 1 step above the fake sensatech āleatherā. If you want upgraded Merino leather itās $10k.

ā Vernasca was like sitting on a rock for me. I came from a 2021 Expedition...
I for one, have never touched my dash and gone āwow it sure would be nice if this was leatherā.
I care about seats, armrests, steering wheel. All 3 should be very nice with the 401A and as an added bonus I get a little knee cushion when my foot isnāt on the pedal. (FYI 401A gets the leather...
If S650 mirrors the S550, I would say the biggest difference will be the 401Aās full grain thicker leather seats compared to the 400A. That plus Co-pilot 360+ & B&O makes it easy for me to justify the 401A. (Not to mention extra lighting, integrated mirror signals, and wrapped leather knee bolsters)
Finally got a chance to watch the vid.
Man what a hoot, look how much fun theyāre having. Wish I could grab a DH but Iām sure the GT will be just as fun
Thanks for the Wikipedia copypasta. The 10R80 is an automatic transmission. The MT-86 is a manual transmission. The TR-9070 (GT500) is a dual clutch transmission. All are fundamentally different in how they operate. All I'm saying is the 10R80 is not a DCT. Nothing you can share will change that.
Besides some high gloss plastic, literally what's the difference? People are seriously tripping over this. All I know is my Whataburger cup will certainly fit better in the stang =)
I was answering your question about AFTERMARKET tail lights. It would just be some chinese company making a really expensive set of lights with questionable reliability.
The 10 speed isn't a dual clutch transmission, it uses a torque converter.
So let's break this down for the Americans here cause I'm seeing some comparisons that don't make sense.
GT 401A with PP: ~60k
DH: ~62k
Base C8 with PP: ~75k
M2: ~65k
Cayman GT4???: ~105k
Alright, so let's go ahead and axe the GT4 I don't even know why it's being talked about, it's clearly in...
Just remember that a resonator only exists to block resonance of the exhaust. I.e. drone.
If you want a louder car get some headers or an exhaust. Resonator delete is just asking for headache (yes I know how popular they are)
