Finally back home after a long 9 hour drive. This thing is a beast! Track mode on this animal means something entirely different than track mode on my old '14 stingray

Congrats on the Upgrade. I would have kept my mudflaps though. lol

Put some tape on the rear brake cooling inlet until you get home. (or until you get mudflaps and/or side rockers)
It gets beat-up quite easy. I learned the hard way... Mine look like crap and I will have to replace them.

Nice cars, both of them! To a casual observer, they look exactly the same.
