    I've had 4th gen camaro and a few corvette cars (c6 and c7 both stick shift) but current American "muscle" is the Tesla Model S Plaid. EV juggernaut. 9 second street killing machine. I did put a big brake carbon ceramic kit up front and carbon ceramic rotors/pads in the back. Car can finally stop like it should with regards to matching the acceleration.

    Another piece of American muscle I own. 1965 Shelby GT 350. (One of my favorites, by the way….)

    They are super tight for sure. The 360 challenge stradale seats were less padded but better imo.
    More difficult than the R would be the Senna seats in 765LT….ouch.

    Yes, I have gotten to drive it a total of 125 miles before the weather set in. Not used to a car that is supposed to sound like a 458 but the low rpm drone is pretty bad. The car wants to be driven fast and the couple times I did get it above 4k rpm, it did sound a lot better. Probably won't even hit 500 mile break in until next year?

    Has your car arrived yet?

    That's about what I expected. I had a 2008 430 Scuderia that was a lot like that. Shifts and sound were pretty meh below 5,000 rpm. I have other high hp/high torque cars so I am looking forward to driving something that likes to be wound-out.

    No car for me yet. Going to be tough to get it to the detailer for Expel/Ceramic/tint before it snows if it doesn't arrive soon. :rolleyes:

    The Purists might have a little heartburn over it, but, when I decided to leave the Ferrari world and go back to "American Muscle", I literally started the conversation with the constructing Shop saying that I would be configuring the car as an "American TR" -- independent front and rear coil-over suspensions, big motor (it's a 460 HP NA Gen 3 Coyote), 5-speed manual (Tremec), big disk brakes all around, and lowered/tubbed. Started life as a 1967 Mustang Fastback, has some GT500 coachwork elements (but isn't a clone), and some other coachwork modifications (e.g., Kindig shaved door handles and 1971 Mach1 side mirrors). Seems to cause about the same "visual calamity" as a TR whenever I drive it ;):
