The other notable thing is that the performance package is available on the base model, and includes upgrade to the 18” wheels, $2000 instead of $1500 as on the premium. Didn’t see that one coming.

Ah, poundshop GT3 eh. I once caught the hand (https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3577652&postcount=26) for making such a suggestion. I'd say Harris is qualified - vindication!
