I meant to add I thought the clutch was a little heavy and short engagement range. I thought it could have been a little less effort.

drove the Emira this past Saturday at Flow. I am 4th in line so should have mine in March/April...at least that is what I am told. My thoughts on the car. A lot of fun. Pedals are very close together. Very direct steering. Small inside, less room than a Cayman IMO. Sounds great from the outside...

I am #4 in my State and my order went in April '22. Being told March/April delivery which meshes with the original post. We'll see.

I think you could easily get $120k for a first edition new Emira if you flipped it. People pay for exclusivity.

I've had multiple 911's. The Cayman is a great car, but you see them everywhere. You pull up in a Cayman, maybe someone notices. You pull up in an Emira, everyone notices. To me, it's no contest. I can always get a Cayman. How many people (here in the U.S.) can get an Emira?.....not many at all...

The tan interior looks so much richer and luxury than the Alcantera. So glad I went with that.

Geely has deep pockets I believe.

I am 4th in my state for an FE and was recently told March/April. I don't get much if any proactive communication on this, it is responses when I ask my local dealer.

Your car looks great!

I got a BMW M4 Comp Xdrive while I wait for my Lotus. It is crazy fast. If I didn't have the Lotus coming I would keep it as it is a bad ass vehicle.

I was all for it then saw the pictures and it looked too dark. At least with the Nimbus Grey I know what I am getting. It's a gamble with DV now IMO.

I did this exact same swap with my dealer. He is not sure the factory will follow through, but it was submitted. Exact same color change.

Yes, I considered the GT4. I have had two 911's. The GT4's tall gearing was a deal killer. What good is a manual if you can't really use it?

They are submitting to Factory with no guarantees it will happen.

Sapphire Black, black wheels and black and red leather. It was take it or leave it. The car will be here in a week and the guy who ordered it backed out. I can easily buy the car and sell it back to a dealer for $10k extra immediately, but I plan to keep it till I get the Emira.

I've asked the dealer to request the factory change my color to Nimbus Grey. The DV is just too dark. Looks black in different lights.

This is why I bought a M4 Competition Xdrive two days ago after a customer reneged on the order. I am 4th in line in my State and I'll be lucky to see my Emira by March. Not getting younger so I'll drive another fun car while I wait.

Yes, it could change. I have bought and sold many performance cars so I am pretty familiar with the process. The good news is that supply still isn't really much better than a year ago for these cars. We'll see.

Yeah, I hit the timing on this perfect. I know people don't like the grill (and I am not a big fan), but the car is black so the grill does not contrast. Also, I go by what the market is saying and if you look at used 2022's....they are going for a lot over sticker, ($95 to $115k) so that...

Just got a new 2023 BMW M4 Competition XDrive for sticker price! They are selling $10-30K over used. I was looking at used M4s yesterday at an out of State dealer and I saw they had this new XDrive coming in. I called and asked if it was available and they said no, it was an order, and they had...

Believe it when I start seeing customer pictures of taking delivery.

I have a friend who has the new GT3. It's an awesome car but he said it's not that much fun cause its just too much for the roads. That is why I kind of like 450hp or less. Cars are overpowered now and you never get out of 2nd gear if you rev up. I had base 2009 911 manual. Now everyone is...

I don't think there is any way you get it in October. Be surprised if you get it this year.

I assume from whomever provides that info, whether it's Lotus USA or the Factory.

Final order (with Lotus USA confirmation and order sheet) was April 19th.

I reserved in July 21, fourth in line in my State for a First Edition. I talked to the sales rep on Friday and he is saying March delivery....and even that you believe it when you see it. I am tired of waiting. I am still going to get the car, but looking at a used '22 M4 to tide me over. Not...

Look, is a Cayman GTS a better made car with a better engine than the Emira 6 cyl? Yes....is it more fun to drive, probably know. Does the manual gearing in the Cayman suck and ruin the fun of a manual? Yes...that alone is a showstopper for me. Plus Caymans are a dime a dozen compared to Lotus...

Yeah, I changed to the tan leather and yellow calipers but kept the black wheels. I don't like how dark it is. Too late for me to change color I believe.

Soft limiters seems to be more of a Euro thing...haven't run into it hear in the States, but it's probably coming as Gov't and Corporations feel the need to dictate our lives.

Andy Cato (from Groove Armada) did the music, Rachel Foster is the vocalist. You can thank me later for turning you on to one of the best albums of the 90's.

That is the exact config I ordered.

The Supra engineering wise is a very good car. No manual which is a deal killer and it is not close to looking as good as an Emira. To me they are not on the same level there. As for the new Nissan, I think the design is not good at all. To me, the true competitor that is worth of the emira and...

But no manual trans.

Yes, originally is was spring delivery, then Nov/Dec and now they are saying Jan/Feb, but they are probably hedging some, i.e..being overly conservative.

Yeah, the gearing of the Cayman is what kept me away from it.

I signed up for the raffle too! Obviously did not win. Went to a lady in Massachusetts.

I was a July 15th deposit. My order to Lotus went in this week and 1Q 2023 delivery.

Lotus order was confirmed this week so that's good. Still sticking with 1st Q 2023 delivery date.
