So was the old one. Too small of marks. Looks pretty though.

The analog speedometer was poorly done, poorly visible, weird sweep orientation. I am glad it's gone. If the needle had stuck I'd never have noticed it. Like a vestigial pinky.

Even if the analog needle was a redundant display, why do it half assed?

I’m curious if the motor will swap, I’m curious what they did to strengthen the internals, and I’m curious if the transmission will swap if it was beefed up at all. I’m currently on E85 at a bar of boost on a Harrop supercharger probably pushing north of 350whp on stock internals. If this thing could handle 400-450whp on stock internals then that would be bad ass.

All in all if you were going to go to the time and trouble to swap there are far better choices.

Poor Scott speed. Press day must've killed him. You can tell which youtubers got rides later in the day.

I'll bet most of the power increase came from the new intake manifold

Anyone else notice the car sounds completely different? It sounds like an inline motor. It has a smooth purr to it that isn’t at all like the FA20.

This is what I mean, where you use a whole round gauge for a digital display:

Talking about digital clusters, I also like how some cars use the dash to display camera footage of your blindspots when you turn your indicator on. Great idea, and far more useful IMO than some of the other new 'safety' tech. A camera showing your blindspots is far more useful than a 'blindspot monitor' that doesn't actually show you what is there.

See I have the total opposite thoughts on that one. A simple indicator that there is something there on the mirror keeps your attention on that side of the car. A picture on the screen is taking attention away from the actual road and away from the actual blind spot. I can picture all sorts of people staring intently at the screen while driving into the lane anyway! It would be fine if used in conjunction with a regular shoulder check but we all know most drivers would soon just start to rely on it and stop actually looking. Mind you many don't look now as it is so....

Thinking so. It sounded smooth.

Lol they fucked that up imo looks like civic rear taillights and I don't like the front fenders they should have kept the fender garnish with the new vents. Plus only 228 hp lol let's see add 100 plus pounds and 23 hp hahahahha.

I dig it. Can't wait to drive one with AP brake kit, shocks, and sticky tires. Hopefully the factory oil cooler means I don't have to fool with that nonsense. $30k car that'll be great for the track with low consumables and some friggin' functional aero from the factory? I hope the haters don't buy it so it prompts some rebates early.

The current car now looks dated. It's gonna be a long year of teeth gnashing for some...

reading posts from various online platforms the two biggest visual complaints im seeing are the front bumper and that stupid black bar on the trunk lid under the ducktail.

Any chance you have a link to the DTM cluster? I can't find it anywhere.
