wrote this on 718 forum : So, a few discoveries today, this is my second 718 test drive, first car was a base 19 manual this was a base PDK. Thanks Hunter for the 40 solo miles. -ventilated seats are not too firm, I’ll spec them -base seats are perfect 6 1 225. Headrest is perfect. Ever driven a...

No pics dang

Test Drove this today. Base 2.0 PDK great car but I didn’t laugh the entire time like my Emira test drive

GREAT snowboarding and music up there

Magma I thought you were in uk. 10 years ago we almost moved to issaquiah (sp)

Right out of school he got a 5.0 then a cobra with DOOM license plates. Did some family stuff then back to muscle

My college roommate rocks a scat charger it’s SO MUCH FUN

Beautiful car

I love Matt and Z so much 2 years ago I drove my TT cross country to visit son1 in LA and reached out to them. They used to drive randos tuned rides and I asked them if they wanted to drive my TT. Surprisingly Zack sent a message back in a day saying they no longer do that. That didn’t stop me...

No Mazda wtf yo? #miataisalwaystheanswer

Yet no pics. Honestly boys and r8 and magma post up your other sleds for crying out loud Moderator: moved "winter sled" posts to new thread. Now lets get back on topic please...

Yeah when you consider how much BIG power you can cheaply get from the b58 and all the aftermarket support, I’m guessing you buy a used one for $47k give a race shop $15k let them know street and race percentage, you’d gave a VERY capable car. Now imagine how sick that would be with the z4...

Well I drove a Miata every day for seven years then moved straight into a TT. You could say I’m immune to sissy slurs (and 6 1 225 :) ) people don’t really talk to me much

Do you know anything about the manufacture of your internals (hint it’s not Japanese)

I love it too but I’d GASP do this instead

Yup was unaware of that. Thx! Still gonna drive it. Im Comparing the Emira to all the performance options found on a 718T or a Z51 c8. saw a Smurf c8 again yesterday driving and they look SMALL under way. Not in a hurry but I’m 60% lotus 20 c8 20 718

That was my original plan but now I’ll wait to drive it. The six test drive really felt perfect. My sons would also prefer the manual :)

I’m speccing up to whatever pkg gives me the rear diff then stopping

Yup could be mod 2 after winter wheels

I’m mostly interested in making the cabin cubby easier to access (and a lower seat) not concerned about the lbs at all

Don’t disagree but if I buy one more 4 cyl turbo I might go crazy

How long has magma been a girl?

Hard pass cause you’re a guy

Time for an exhaust, forged wheels and paragon springs. start here https://www.paragonperf.com/Paragon-Performance-C8-Corvette-Cat-back-Titanium-Exhaust_p_511.html

How many miles on the car? Daily driver?

718s have electric seats and base seats. I’ll go over there and ask weight savings between the 2 while we wait for Lotus (#longtime) Got this back fwiw 14/18 way memory seats are approximately 45 pounds heavier

That’s turrible lol

The horn is f150 sized. Gives the impression of weight and fat control group shown :

This is a real problem, look what can go wrong this is so awful

My 2 issues with the f type (besides fat) is the coupe looks WAY better than the vert and this steering wheel. What is this, a Buick? So nasty

I f ing love that

On what car?

I felt the interior was almost equal to my 17 TT and didn’t feel wind noise in my fingers while holding the wheel and shifter. It felt Miata like alive to me.

I’ve stood on that very spot ENJOY

Offsets? I’m all about collecting wheels (seven sets so far on the TT).

I enjoyed your opinion btw

I’d install an entirely new engine.

not a super car wut?

This actually makes me laugh. If I was looking for a cutting edge car with unlimited budget, I’d certainly not look at the new Emira sponsored by geely china. If I were you (super wealthy) I’d buy a v6 manual car, gut it and build it to my specs (seats/weight/engine/brakes/wheels etc) budget (if...
