In for actual pics. 740 miles sounds like someone wanted it and found out it was a tad high for their budget 😛 ---

I actually considered one in auto… and I know people would hate me for it… but look at the specs on it. The auto is heavier, makes less power at the tire, and is faster. And it makes the wife happy. Had it been an all season car… I’d be right there with you… :tup: Congrats on pulling the trigger, I didn’t have the balls. ---

Yeah I almost “settled” for an auto, but I drove both and preferred the MT6. And if I was going to spend what I just spent, I wanted to get exactly what I wanted. I also think if this was my daily/year-round driver I might have considered the auto more. ---

Made it home at 1pm today. I am cleaning it up now, but the car is amazing. Car pulls hard and linear at any speed. Hard to describe. Great blend of supercharger and exhaust notes. The suspension once set to touring was amazing for the long trip. The recaro ventilated seats once adjusted were perfect for the trip as well. ---
