are you dealing with Columbia (cinci)? i was told today that the car still isn't ready for test drives. i wonder what's taking them so long.. they've had the car for a week and they must know there are a lot of chomping at the bit to get behind the wheel! if you're not the columbia guy, i...

The alcantara in my SS1LE got a little bad but I think it was low quality and I never cleaned it until I was ready to sell it. a microfiber cloth and just a little spritz of plain water with some elbow grease seemed to do a nice job. Many ways to do it but this was easy, readily available and...

I have several colors I’ll be equally happy with so I guess I’m somewhere in the middle. I want black interior but happy with white, blue, or gray exterior.

lots of good points about the seats … further solidifies that it would be nice for Honda/Acura to offer the more aggressive seats as an option. Oh well … as long as they aren’t significantly worse than what I had in my Si I’m sure I’ll be happy enough with them for that not to be the main...

Brian at Columbia has been spot-on with his info. ?

Numerous companies make optional track seats (BMW, Porsche buckets), so I wish Acura did that with this car. The CTR seats are pretty aggressive but sooo much more kind than the buckets from BMW and Porsche. I would option the CTR seats in a heartbeat at around $2k?? i can’t wait to geta...

I was told by one of their guys “no PDI or test drives until the 19th.” maybe you get special treatment in which case I’d be happy for you haha. either way, I’m hoping to get a drive after the 19th to see if it lives up to the hype!

I’m busy this weekend … dang .. maybe I’ll have to run down some evening this week to take a look.

I won’t be getting this as a full time track car so I don’t need to know what it’s like at the limits .. just how it behaves on the road. You can get a decent sense of handling through some on-/off-ramps while still being a responsible driver and I trust myself more than journalists for that...

i'm most interested in forming my own driving impressions :) really interested to see if the salesman is correct about the demo being used for test drives. i know some have been told that no test drives will be done in the demo but maybe it's up to the dealership to decide...?

The manual is definitely fun … a little slower and a little more concern for a money shift but still amazing. Thanks n the street it’s driving bliss. the auto in the M3 is pretty sorted but it’s honestly too fast to really enjoy on public roads … which is why I’m interested in the ITS...

it’s a good pairing … I’ll admit! my transmissions are backwards but oh well! the ITS wheels look good to start and I’d probably go for the standard set .. while a simple color change is annoying to pay extra for… it’s not unheard of and I suppose it’s acceptable. better than making a junk...

yeah porsche GT cars do have a nice amount of drop and flush from the factory! i just got an M3 CS and it's got lots of wheel gap and also has a "weak" wheel fitment ... also very aggressive camber from the factory (like -2* or more?) which makes it looks more sunken in. kinda weird. i'm...

funny how everyone has their own recipe to take care of business ... i like your style!

seems like a lot of work and tinkering for that result although sounds like you know what you're talking about! so you use this setup to make 87 behave more like a 93+, 100? i oftentimes see the guys at the track with a truckbed full of E85 cans and always think two things: 1) wow, no...

i'd be interested to see a side by side ... sounds clean but not "wow" to me ... which is what I/we would expect from a turbo 4 cylinder. it will definitely be interesting to see the exhaust compatibility case.

can say for sure that there have been a LOT of advances in tire compounds since some of those cars posted their numbers ... however, they probably were on relatively high performance tires for their time and it's mind blowing that this little hatch can even get CLOSE. right off the production...

i love the guy's enthusiasm and great job mic'ing it up. i think it sounds good amongst its peers but some cars just aren't going to be "amazing" sounding. i just picked up an M3CS which i also put into that camp (https://youtube.com/shorts/NBuKuaqHqOs?feature=share). great car overall...

60 days was the dealer hold time quoted to me, but obviously tentative and we'll see what happens when it actually arrives. if it's available for test drives, that would be great ... i'd love to try one out ... but then i wouldn't want that one. and if it's NOT available for test drives that's...

hahaha classic. I’ll likely be facing a similar situation over the next few months. GR is cool but I had a GR86 and absolutely hated the infotainment layout And trash audio quality … don’t care about that on spirited drives or track days but my kids let me know about it haha. Which blackwing...
