My GT Performance Edition (GTPE) delivered!

[Colt]

Didn’t have much time to drive it or take too many pictures since I didn’t get out of the dealership until around 8:45 and I need to get some dinner. I picked up a dark matter gray with pano roof.

Initial impressions:
It’s mostly suburban sprawl here, so not a lot of opportunity to test out the handling and magneride. Im going to find some canyon roads this weekend. That said, it felt pretty planted.

Off the line, it felt fairly quick. Again, not a lot of opportunity yet to push it.

I was in the camp of “I don’t like the PE seats” and was making my peace with that. Seeing them in person is way different than the pictures. I tried to get some more pictures to help demonstrated the material, but you just can’t capture it on a phone camera. Pictures make the seats look “fuzzy” but the material is certainly not. I also wasn’t sure about the shoulder bolsters, but they don’t look (too) bad in person.

No frunk dividers! Two keys! Yay.

My salesman said that the software is preloaded with blue cruise already, so I guess I should try that out, but frankly, I just want to drive it!

All i can say is... that's 612 lb's- ft of torque! Awesome ride!

I presume they have an emergency release inside now as that is why they had to put the dividers in initially.

Correct, it’s a bit hard to see in the photo, but there is a little light on the left there and a button which I presume would open the frunk.

I thought they always had the button in there, it just didn't work all the time lol. Wish they left the option to add the dividers in later. Or make it an option at purchase.

And maybe make the fasteners easily removable with common tools so that an owner with little or no mechanical experience can easily remove and reinstall them.

Since the newer MMEs are not coming with a divider, how am I going to display the big can of V8 in the frunk?

Why get a giant can of Turbo to go along with the VB. I can find the door out on my own...

Ok, we need 1/4 asap . We are going crazy on the one car that has shared data. We need to know what is happening past 1/8 mile.

Yeah finally a space white. Let's see some day time pictures if you can get any, would love to see how that color looks with the GT front end. Mine won't here here until end of November

Yeah that looks super nice, definitely the right color for me. I saw an AWD at a dealer when I first started looking at the MME and loved the color.
