Who has ordered the 6 speed?

Congrats, Lance! I'm very happy for you after such a long wait.
I would strongly urge you to drive it for a little while on the stock springs, so you have a frame of reference when you decide to switch, which I know you're clearly determined to do. That advice applies to your other anticipated mods as well.

Congrats on the new arrival!
I know you're planning on getting the car coated and clear bra installed - this guy has some tips (he has lots of great videos) on prepping a new car, and NOT letting the dealership touch it....
One possible concern (of mine) is that these special order cars are getting to the customer so quickly (relatively) that the paint may not have had time to fully out-gas and cure on delivery(?)

EDIT: Just looked at a few links online, and the rule-of-thumb now seems to be 60 days before any type of coating.
Lance, wasn't your car built in the first week of June?

I'm hoping this is a function of a 2d map Alternatively, it's possible the captain has gone rogue and is taking my coupe!
EDIT: Looks like there's been a course correction

I was thinking the same thing. It may no longer be true with the more environmentally-friendly, low VOC paints, but I've frequently been told than an exterior finish takes 4-6 months to fully cure.

"It really all depends on how long since they been painted from the factory. At min they need to wait 60 days or so before adding any protection especially clear bra. Typically, by the time the car is received by the customer....its been a few weeks since its been painted, so the wait is usually not long.
Give me a call if you have any other questions I can help with

Thanks for the heads-up, guys. Installer fully concurred. He had never run into a car that had gone from a European assembly plant to customer in that short a time. In my case, less than 4 weeks (location, location, location). He also told me to go drive it in the meantime. He'll address any blemishes that I cause in the meantime (JUST DON'T WASH).
