I agree. I finally had a chance to get out for a couple of hours and have to say, the torque is unbelievable. It jist constantly pulls. The gearbox takes a bit of getting used to with the tight spacing, but she's absolutely the most engaging and enjoyable car I've ever owned. Glad to hear you're loving yours as well. Hopefully we'll get to catch up at an event or something in the future, would love to see yours in person.

Got the car back from the dealer this week. Had a few minor items too repair and a few recalls. They also swapped the mirror caps and put a chin splitter on. Also had the VAP air filters installed. A few pics pic the carbon caps attached and another interior pic.
I have put a few hundred miles on it now and I'm more comfortable with the dog leg. It takes getting used to it but when you get a few high speed shifts just right, wow!

Wow - that is incredible. If you are ever in the area, would love to have a close up look.

I have not tried it yet, I am still learning the gear box. It takes some time getting used too. How do you use the AMShift? I know that's terrible but I bought this used and have not had time to go thru the entire manual

I Believe you press and hold the SPORT button for 3-sec. to enable/disable. Switching off the car defaults back to normal shift mode.

AM Shift is pretty sweet. The last time I turned mine on, the car has defaulted to that setting on each new start up. The hardest part for me was forcing myself not to lift my right foot on the upshift from years of doing so - it just felt wrong. But AM shift works brilliantly on both the up and down shifts once you unlearn lifting.

Nice car! Similar to mine. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...new-v12vs.html
Good call on the hood vents. I like them better than the CF ones.
They do make black interior ***** with orange accents.
They’ll put in the GT12 doors if you ask.
