Mnemonic

I'm literally days away from submitting an order, so looking for feedback on options. Let me know if you have experience with any item good or bad. Would really like to know what you regretted getting or not getting....

As a small level set, this will be my daily driver, and the wife has part driving privelidges so Automatic trans is a must. I'm sadly letting the glass roof go due to cost, weight and Texas Sun. I'm still considering Recaros, but we both want leather, and I know this sounds dumb, but heated seats are kinda nice, even if we use them one month out of the year.

Anyway, here's my Order:
P8C - GT Premium
443 - Auto Trans
401A Interior
Deep Impact Blue
Charcoal w/ Cashmere Accent
55D Brembo
43S - Reverse Sensing System and Security
53B - Comfort Package
58N - Electronics Package
77C - Rearview Camera
603 - Remote Start
Illuminated Sill Plates

The illuminated sills are included with the 401a. I went with the same interior but grabber blue accents...no regrets there (exterior is DIB).

Comfort and electronics packs are great options IMO. I got the track pack, and I love the manual (obviously not an option for you). I would've liked to order the recaros as well, but the future wife needed wanted heated seats. No regrets, but something I def would've ordered if I was single.

You will love the car! Good luck!

don't forget the track package! or at least out some 3.73 gears in that mug

Can't get the track pack with an auto trans :/

Looks like Mnemonic needs a 6 speed : P haha jk.

My car is just a base GT so I can't speak to any of the options but with mine being the same color I can say that Deep Impact Blue is absolutely gorgeous on these cars!

Looks like you have a good list there. I ordered my DIB Premium GT with the 401a package as well, but like ace5ja above I got the grabber blue accents. No regrets there, and I think it works really well with a DIB exterior. No need to order the sill plates, they're part of the 401a package.

Also, with that comfort package you'll get pony projection lights coming out from your side mirrors. It's a neat little add-on; may catch you by surprise some evening.

I'm sorry to all you guys that have wives that can't handle the stick. :-\

Mnemonic

Believe me, I am still trying. If successful then I can likely go with the Boss, but I'll be happy with an Auto anyway. I did enjoy bracket racing in the past, which the Auto would be optimal for.

I do think I'm am teetering towards the Leather recaro's now....

Can't go wrong with the Recaros. They are SOOOO comfortable it's crazy. My wife loves them more than the leather standard seats. I will go comfort over heat any day especially when I'm not sliding off my seat while my car is sideways.

Couple of things I took into consideration which lead me to the comfort package seats than the Recardos. Having both seats with electronic controls, The heated seats (NY gets cold in the winter) and the fact I have a 7 year old son and with the Recardos his vision is the back of the seats and nothing else. They are some tall seats.

Ok, so I've decided no more 401a package, and the illuminated door sill is aparantly standard in the GT Premium. So that saves me like 600 bucks lol!

Now it's down to a Deep Impact Blue with Brembo wheels or Sterling Grey with the 64X black rims and perhaps black center stripe.


For recaro leather seats, I really do want them, but really want power seats too (Wifey wants the heated seats). I was thinking I could always get recaro's later and mount them to the same seat rails. Is this possible? Then perhaps I could adapt the heating etc which would be pre-wired.
