I could be wrong, but I thought that the geo difference was linked to the tyre selection and not the chassis type?

So Cup2s get the more aggressive geo (that suits that tyre) and Goodyears get a different geo (on both sport and touring chassis).

Matching alignment to tire makes way more sense than matching alignment to suspension setup. In the end, alignment is about your tire’s contact with the road and tires are designed and constructed with specific ranges of alignment parameters in mind.

 

[TomE]

There are 3 geo setups for the three different suspension/tyre combinations.

Reviews on this side of the Atlantic continue to be stellar!

I'm not a fan of Jalopnik, but this was a surprisingly good review. AND..... now we know what the destination charge is: $2,200, at least in the U.S. anyways.

Jalopnik used to be much better. Now it's mostly click bait.

Let's be real, Jalopnik has been click bait for over 10 years. Haha

Lol has gotten worse and worse indeed

Harry’s Garage update :

 

[VL3X]

Interesting point about the "seat too high" comments. I agree with Harry that it's just perception due to the lower door/window line.

I'm going to do my best to reframe myself with this as i do respect Harrys opinion.
Just not sure it will be able to compete with "oh sh!t I feel like I'm sat 'on' an MGF........."

 

[Kentviking]

Harry’s Garage update :

He's still in love and provides some great commentary in here...I love the cars he compares the Emira to too...it is just the perfect car for what I am looking for right now and I cant wait to collect ours on Friday.

 

[Cachaco131]

Great commentary, thoughtful and measured, and so enjoyable to watch. His style is so much more easy to watch than the Schmeeeeees of the world.

 

[VL3X]

I'm glad he seems to love it still, but still surprising even Harry has experienced random limp modes and fault warning lights. All of this should have been found and sorted before custom cars got released.

Re: handling — Harry should disable his power steering if he wants to find out what that’s really like — as a couple forum members have found out.

 

[KJD]

He obviously doesn’t slum it with easyjet though, cos their spec case fits in the boot.
And two behind the seats. (55x40x23cm)

 

[Pugwash]

Yep, my carryon will lay flat like that in the boot. Just needs to be “pivoted” in.

Yes when he said the front was so light you could drive it without power steering I almost choked
