Leadfoot Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Well, the car finally arrived last Fri after sitting at he factory almost a month. Car shipped without the front lip extension, but that should be here by Mon. I've driven it about 100mi so far--it is firmly sprung for street driving but not unbearable (at least on the relatively smooth GA roads). Interior is miles ahead of my 2010 ACR and I'm impressed with the overall fit and finish. Here's a few pics: I see my iPad has rotated the pics again--if someone can fix that for me please do!

JK79 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Love that blue. With only 100 miles on it I assume it is too soon for a comparison with the Z07. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assman Report post Posted November 27, 2015 If you sell your white 6MT roadster I am going to get on a plane to Cali right the f now ... Hell no. That car isn't for sale. I need another car but I kind of need a back seat or I'd have bought an ACR for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannibalACP82 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Hell no. That car isn't for sale. I need another car but I kind of need a back seat or I'd have bought an ACR for sure OK good. Had me scared. Is garage space a problem? If not get the viper and something else with more space. For the record I am pretty high on the Audi S8.

Garage space is a huge problem 😭. The s8 is cool but not what I'm after. The biggest back seat car I'm looking at is a 911tt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannibalACP82 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Garage space is a huge problem 😭. The s8 is cool but not what I'm after. The biggest back seat car I'm looking at is a 911tt That back seat is unusable. What about the i8? Silly fast, points for being a hybrid, looks like a space ship and I've actually had my kids in the rear seat and out and about in it. Plus is comes in a cool blue like the Viper above!

LA_Brit Report post Posted November 27, 2015 As always we have the same taste! I have been talking about this car the last few weeks. Really want to know whether it's worth the extra 70k over the old models at the moment which are quite frankly a bargain...

FEVIPER Report post Posted November 28, 2015 Love that blue. With only 100 miles on it I assume it is too soon for a comparison with the Z07. I can tell you that my Z07 did nothing for me. I put less than a 1000 miles on it and actually traded it for my new ACR. And the ACR absolutely does it for me,lol. I am interested in hearing Leadfoots take.

StoleIt Report post Posted November 28, 2015 Awesome buy! I love the extreme package with the vents on the front fender flares. I was also super impressed by the Gen 5 interior when I got a ride in one. Miles ahead of my Gen 3 and light years ahead of my former Gen 2.

Leadfoot Report post Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks to everyone for the nice comments--really appreciate it! As I've said before, this is the only forum I post pic threads about my cars. I really enjoy sharing with the LP family. I am wrapping the roof in gloss black. Anyways---comparisons with the ZO6/ZO7: The cars are really two different propositions. It's been said before, but I can't think of a better way to describe the two cars personality/design statements: the ZO7 is a great street car that can be driven very fast on the track. But the ACR is truly a race car that just happens to be able to be driven on the street. The ACR is going to be primarily a track car for me. The ZO7 will be utilized on weekend mountain runs and for general around town stuff. The Z07 is a jack of all trades--the top comes off, it has every creature comfort and technology, the rev matching is fun, and it rides very well on the street. I had the Z07 at Road Atlanta last weekend and am going again with it this weekend since the ACR only has 170 mi on it and no clear bra yet. It's nice to have the ZO7 as a back up! It's still a blast at the track! But I'm confident I will be several seconds faster in the ACR! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
