It's true that this car is not expected to excel in 0-60 and that 0-60 is a silly metric to begin with. Just a bit surprising to see the gap in straight line performance vs a FL5 with the same hardware. However, given the two cars were tested on different days with different conditions, that...
MotorTrend just released their First Test results.

5.7s 0-60
14.2s @ 101.9mph
A little slower than expected in a straight line, though it matches the FL5 on the figure 8 course. Thoughts?
Good eye! This will be in storage during winter, so I may risk it until the first ticket, at which point the wife will probably drill two holes herself.
There is a company out there called Sly Brackets who may be able to provide a no drill front license solution.
Picked up the car today! Have only driven it home like a grandma, so will hold off saying anything regarding performance/limits.
However, the exhaust note in Sport+ is really nice with pops and burbles while shifting. It also rides very well, much better than expected given its CTR roots...

My allocation reached the dealer yesterday - went through PDI today and will be ready for pickup tomorrow morning.
Went to check it out today at the dealer. It was parked beside an A Spec in the same colour, and the type S just looks so much meaner. The width of the vehicle stood out in...
Had 2 deposits initially, as #1 at each, but recently requested a refund from one as the other dealer was more responsive to inquiries and was able to offer a build date first.
The tire/wheel warranty at my chosen dealer is 3 years @ $459. Yours sounds much more enticing. However, given the 30 series profile tires, will keep it on.
Heads up to those that want to add optional accessories.
Compared to A-spec accessory pricing, you can expect a hefty premium for any type-S specific accessories. Non type-s specific accessories are not impacted by this premium.
