For those of us who are hoping for an allocation in 2018, does the introduction of the Competition series increase the production numbers or will the over all number produced remain the same? Thanks

Same number. Has been an option since the start.

Yes, it is.

Does the titanium exhaust increase the horsepower rating?

Is it possible to do a custom color with the comp package?

I would guess it would be a minuscule difference, but it is 22 lbs lighter.

Yes, potentially. It's not available with Liquid Red because of the paint process but the color I showed you, it was possible.

Talk about a tough call on your part. Holy crap.

It's still possible but I'd lose my serial number, which I quite like, and I'd get bumped well into summer instead of next month. Plus the whole no AC misery whenever it's hot.

I'm just hoping I show up and there's a carbon stripe on it. Really the A-pillar is even better than the stripe. It looks so good.

Solves the no-AC problem, if only there was room to stow the cooler:

I understand the Kewi Flow system weights 117lbs.

How about one of those little electric fans that plug into the cigarette lighter?

I can live without A/C here in San Francisco, but I need the front end lifting mechanism to get in and out of my driveway. I was forever replacing the low front air dam on my Lambo. Will the competition series have the front lifter???

Yes. Missing AC/Radio/Backup cam.

Cool! I'll take one. I bought a 2017 Shelby GT350 off the lot last month to keep myself amused until my GT comes up. (I'm in the 3rd group). And the Shelby scrapes a teeny bit each time and I'm sure it's higher than the GT will be. My 458 Spyder has the lifter and it works great.

What year do the Feds require the backup camera?

Yes. Missing AC/Radio/Backup cam.

Is it a 2017 model year only option? Aren't backup cameras mandatory by 1-May-2018?

FWIW, you can hit the front lift in the GT at up to 25 mph and it operates pretty much instantaneously. Bang, you're up.

donnymac could have used that at the last rally.

(actually, he was probably going a little faster than 25mph)
