I like the shorter wing, it looks more proportional.
I was undecided...@ the last minute..I opted for the shorter...glad I did
I myself like the lower wing. Pretty sure she will too once it's home and it grows on her.

Its a 50/50 thing...I think which ever one you opt for..you will end up liking it...your wife will love it...in touring mode..your not going to believe how smooth ..and quite the ride is..a radical departure from even the C7

Yeah that makes sense about the wing. Not really wanting to deal with removing the rear to do it anyway. Her C7 always amazed me how smooth the ride is so looking forward to driving this. You were saying it handles amazing... her Cayman handled amazing so this should be fun.

Your a good man my friend. Thank you we are excited as well. Now all I need is for my salesperson to call me back so I can find out when I can pick the damn thing up. Was hoping tomorrow.

Nice. Cleetus had one that looked just like it. He claims to have purchased for $82K drove it 2300 miles and sold it for $112K to pay for bleechers at the Freedom Factory race track he just bought LOL.
One with 529 miles went through the dealer only wholesale auction that we attend every week yesterday. Brought $99k before fees.

Every time I see a real tall wing on some little Corolla or Sentra, it cracks me up, it's like really what are you doing, over compensating for something.
And it’s always a four door too :ROFLMAO:

They kept yelling how it had $21k in options. Even so, that was ALL the money.

Southern Auto Auction in CT. Independently owned. The owner is a Kazillionaire. Basically owns everything in that area. Funny because the first Demon to run through there was sold with the crate and he had no clue why the crate was there or really what the Demon even was.

I can't imagine why they put that on the showroom floor instead of hiding it out on the back lot.

Funny I thought the exact same thing lol. And yeah its the number one sales tactic to finalize the deal. People will be wanting the car and when you arrive and let’s say you like well I don’t know....uhm. The immediate response from the salesman or GM will be oh we have others wanting this car right away and will even pay premium. So uhm do want the car or not lol. And I am sure Tk man has her under control but it’s the Car Dealership Salesmanship standard antics.
