I was a little disappointed with the information that they had to present on the '05s. It was all net-available information, no details on what I would consider to be the critical aspects of the '05. The did indicate that for a 6MT/5AT Sport Coupe the price would likely be notably higher than the '04s, but no indication or qualification of that.
I wanted to know the wheel width for the 19"s, no information. The only reason to get 19"s for sport-minded drivers is the width, we want wider tires. WE WANT WIDER TIRES! (Repeat after me!)
They are delaying the production of the '05 6MT due to changes in the transmission. They are apparently hearing complaints for owners and are re-engineering the transmission to try to alleviate these concerns. The expected production start is Nov'04, which I read to be an early Jan'05 delivery for 6MTs.
We activated the Roady on the drive home, it's pretty nice. The kit is VERY cool, extremely portable and easy to use. I love the antenna, you can just put it on the rear parcel shelf and be done with it. We had it on the dash and only had fade when under overpasses.
It was a cool event, just wish there was more planned for it.
They mentioned a possibility of getting a track day (at extra cost) next spring. Grubbs! DO IT! *whee!*
I asked to see if they can organize a dyno-day again this fall, I want to baseline my 6MTc.
