And today was the day! It's weird because 3 years ago on 2/28/18, I flew to SLC to buy my CWP series.blue...How does that happen being that they were way early to begin with?!

Awesome!!! Cool how you have the same delivery date as your Series.Blue. Don’t forget to add your car to the tS registry, if you want!

The wing seems kinda silly to me. I guess it's the way it mounts but it doesn't look bad on the black one. The rocket bunny wing looks a thousand times better in my opinion. If any purchasers feel up to PMing me their price I would appreciate it a lot because I'm going to be negotiating for one and I've never bought a new car before let alone a limited edition version. I'd love to go in with a bit of real world knowledge.

Prices are going to vary by a ton of factors: location, dealer, etc.

You could probably get a rough range, but there's no guarantee. @Veloist actually said dealers in his area varied by whether they sold the tS for MSRP or not, and that's in one geographic location. Plus taxes vary, obviously. Many different ways for price to happen.

What width wheels/tires do you think will be runnable on the ts with the different suspension? Surely they're not as wide as the stock suspension on the twins so

Exactly the same as normal.
Dimension wise it's the same as the PP.
The only changes in what you can run compared to a base 86 is making sure the wheel clears the brembos.

Damn I was really hoping I could put off coilovers a little longer and get wide wheels. I didn't expect the Sachs suspension to be as in the way as the original suspension design. Thanks.

I know it's probably not a huge concern for most, but what's the real world mpg's for these?

There are multiple ts's at dealers here in Texas, or so it seems. But I was showing my wife what I wanted, limited with pp but she is pushing me to get the ts, but the projected economy is off putting as I drive about 75 + miles a day.
