Also, regardless of when I place the new order, I will keep my old lease until the new one arrives, so technically ordering early doesn't benefit me any.

Wait 'till 18. They said upfront that monospec stays for 17 but would be looking at different trim levels after that. There also could be a 17 Special Edition but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

Ichi mentioned the possibility of a anniversary edition. That should be pretty well loaded like the 350Z was

Yeah, I know. I'll have to be careful stopping. I really need special brakes to handle that insane 205hp. Without them who knows how long it'll take me to rearend someone because I couldn't contain the powar.

And little does anybody know but that can of spaghetti was one of the very best things you got in those rations even when they were new. Much of the menus went way down hill from there.

Some of those rations were pushing 20 years old when we were issued them in the mid 70s so I can even imagine what they are like now.

Being able to stop fast is just as important as being able to go fast. They are two independent measures of performance unrelated to each other. My car is bone stock and I know it can do at least 137mph. I would love to have Brembos. I had Brembos in my WRX. There was a REAL HARD stop on I84W in Waterbury. Like 50mph traffic to 0. Don't know why. I stopped a foot behind a Toyota Camry. The pickup truck behind me hit me, he was paying attention his truck just couldn't stop as hard as I could. Then all 3 of us got nailed by some broad in an Altima at 50mph who wasn't paying attention and totalled my WRX even though she hit the truck behind me. So maybe my brakes were too good, haha, but at least I wasn't found at fault...
