LW is all-alcantara interior (i.e. you can’t order the leather wheel option) but stitching is silver.

I asked for a 2019 Lightweight or 2019 Heritage but wasn't selected. I think I'll get the CF wheels, Ti lugnuts & Ti exhaust though. A Semi-Lightweight.

Ditto. I wasn't a fan of stripes anyway.

As far as the stripe, A- pillars, and mirror caps - all GTs have these components in carbon. Clear coat likely weighs similar to paint, so exposed carbon does not mean they are lighter because they're carbon, since they're all carbon.

I don't see what's "lightweight".

:lol

The weight reduction is small no doubt, but the twin carbon stripes are worth the price.

The carbon stripes will look cool. I still like the competiton's design the most. I just think "lightweight" is a poor name choice for that package, and I'd like to see an actual "lightweight" variant. Maybe more track focused with a wing and splitter like a Senna, or hell, even a ZR1.

Maybe should be called "sport" vs lightweight.

Thats really exciting news. I'm sure they will be much bigger sellers than the Comp car, spoken from a guy who bought the GT350R and added back the AC/radio.

With regard to the exposed CF stripes. I have been told that there is considerable effort to create the exposed stripe (s). If you were to take a sander to a "normal" NGT and had at it, you would reveal CF that looks like the mule cars. You would not have perfectly aligned weave, but a more industrial look. Obviously nothing to do with weight, just coolness.



You forgot Limited or Lariat
