That might just be my car. Mind you with 18's and at least 255's.

I love the red on red interior as well as the black accents.

The blackened out headlamp buckets and smoked glass make this car look really mean.

I might be in the minority here, but I prefer the lower portion of the front grill without the black insert. I'll have to see it in person to know for sure. I remember seeing a post stating that the black insert could be removed.

Although the torch red looks good, I still prefer redfire.

As for the exhaust, I've heard the car in person, and think it sounds great for a stock GT; better than the current GT's exhaust. Maybe they've detuned the exhaust on these closer to production models. I remember at the time I heard the exhaust, an engineer said they were still working on the final iteration of it.

How exactly do they detune the exhaust? Through the muffler?

Sure, not sure if detune is the correct usage but changing mufflers and/or adding/subtracting cat converters (types of converters can change it too) will modify the exhaust sound (not to mention headers/engine).

Hairy that was me and it was in third gear... You didn't get as close in third and fifth because your shifting at an angle instead of straight on.
