    Hi there, would like to know from current GTO owners what's it like driving the beast on wet roads. My GTO is an April production so just want a headsup on how difficult or easy it is to handle this car in the wet. Thanks in advance.

    It's an animal. Drive with caution and no matter what they say ... let the electronics "nanny" you. Stay away from race mode unless you are on a track with plenty of run-off space.

    Not long to wait now!
    Mine is also scheduled for April build - supposed to be going to the factory to see it on the line next week but we're still waiting for final confirmation. Perhaps I will see yours too - colour?

    Hang in there Andrew. Almost there. Would be great if you could see your own car on the production line. What an experience that would be.

    Hey thanks. I just received word from my dealer - car is already in build and I have an appointment at the factory next Monday 10am to see it. In the testing area. So much for being able to see it being constructed - although I cannot really complain because that means I get it sooner :)

    Hi Andrew, if you're in the factory look out for a Bianco Fuji with Rosso mugello racing livery. Not sure if its actually on the production line yet though. Do let me know if you see mine. Cheers!

    Thanks for the advice M. Can't wait to receive the car in a few months time. Cheers!

    Agreed. I say use "sport" and auto--and push down easy with your boot :)

    Will be a great experience. Been in the testing area a couple of times and it is always great to see so many differently specced F's together. Have fun. It will be hard to resist not taking her with you as I'm sure you will be in love once you've laid eyes on her ;)

    You are welcomed. Interesting colour spec. Looking forward to seeing pictures of it.

    Perfectly worded TJ!!!

    Nooooo...

    Make sure the tyres have temperature in them, don't try anything beyond race mode, drive using the torque - and there is plenty of it - and enjoy. It won't fix everything for you, but it wasn't designed to....
