Just drove my F-Type Home-OMG I'm In Love
The only option I didn't get was the spare tire. Fully optioned there is only about a $7K difference in the price between the 6S and the 8 so even though I kind of liked the sound of the 6 with active exhaust a bit better I went for the 8. Apparently you can't get launch control on the 8 because they are worried the tranny will come apart. My wife said it best, "this is the most amazing car I've ever driven". I think I've died and gone to heaven. Initial pictures of when we picked the car up below.

6 with active exhaust
The 6 sounds a bit more like an F1 car to me, more exotic. The 8 more like a Cobra. But the 8 clearly has more kick and the kick won out. You'll have to try the 6 with active exhaust and tell me what you think.

Rob - congrats - great looking car. Good move on not getting the spare - went to the dealer event this weekend and they had a V6S with the spare - took up the whole trunk. Test drove a satellite grey V8S and wow what a car!!! If I didn't have my daughter starting college in the fall, it would have gone home with me!

Haven't had a chance to look at the 6 with active exhaust. I fully agree, the F1 is a more desirable and exotic sound; however, with the large power difference on the V8 I would go for the V8. Your V8 S with the options and color looks so good!

Black is Beautiful
Awesome car ! The Blade wheels complete the look. I havn't seen a black one with Blade wheels in dealer stock. Did you order it ? Black is the best color , but I live in the midwest with lots of rain so whenever I wash my Lunar Grey I'm thankful I didn't go black. Biggest regret that I have was not somehow working with the dealer to get Blade wheels. $2500 option $8000 through parts dept. !
Enjoy your new black beauty !
