Used 16 R with two tone white interior. Ultimate black.

I am partial to the two tone interiors. Sets off the car exterior when you come up on it.

Those Storm wheels are awesome. I ordered those same wheels and will have them installed next week after I swap out my ugly Gyrodynes. It's nice that the Storm wheels can be ordered separately without spending $$$ on the CC brakes.

Do you happen to know what the weight difference is with the Storms versus the other cast wheels?

Just wanted to add that at two days of ownership, I'm in love with this car. It's just amazing.

I traded a 14 corvette which I loved. It was a great car. But it doesn't compare to this.

Congrats. I was on the fence between a 2016 Z06 convertible or the 2016 F Type R convertible to replace the F430. I went for the F Type R. I have a 2006 Corvette convertible that I bought new so I really didn't need another Vette. I'm really impressed with the F Type. I'm only at 2 months with it and 650 miles.

To make a long story short, I also cross shopped the Z06. I tested one last summer but the dealer didn't have an allocation for me to order and I didn't like the tester's color, interior, trim etc. Anyway, I was test driving the R while out of town and the Chevy guy called me to tell me he had just got an allocation. I kindly declined as I had already made up my mind. I had planned to go to an Aston Martin dealership and Tesla dealership, but cancelled those plans after driving the Jag.
