OK, So we (my wife and I) did go test drive this Coupe. First of all I am in no way affiliated with this seller or have any interest in this car, a little more on the car itself later. So, I must say, what a great learning experience this was! Now for you car gurus, you'll probably just roll your eyes but for someone like me, who is mechanically inclined but not very experienced or maybe more never really payed attention to such things as torque, so when the forum is discussing torque, and displaying dyno sheets, I was quite frankly lost.I did not grow up with dirt bikes, snowmobiles or fast cars. I did drive my dad's 1984 Honda CB750 motorcycle when I was 17, but I think he governed that down, if that is even possible, but I had to try very hard by popping the clutch to lift the front wheel off the ground a couple of inches.My first toy was 6 years ago when I was 34, an R1, which of course was a blast, and I'm completely amazed I did not kill myself! Hang on I'm getting to the point.Anyway I drove the bike hard and fast for a couple of years then had to sell it due to a hockey accident that laid me up for six months. I guess I'm explaining all this to show how little experience I have in the "sports car" scene.So our next toy was a 2009 Jeep wrangler, this is where I joined my first forums and the modding bug started, but needless to say high performance engines and off roading jeeps do not go together. OK now we are getting close to the point. So we end up getting the Sol, a GXP Turbo, and I join SF, and have learned a ton, but as previously mentioned, was frequently lost at some of the content, but now, after test driving a "supercharged" coupe, it all clicked,most notably torque and torque curves, all I can say is WOW, now I get it!Comparing our Turbo to a supercharger was fantastic and a blast.Now more on the Coupe, what a beautiful car!Completely fell in love with it. From the outside, my wife prefers the look of the coupe, me, I'm torn, I think my vote goes to the vert, but the coupe definitely has it's pros. From the inside, sorry coupe owners but the vert wins hands down.Yes of course you can put more in the coupe, but as my wife stated in the vert you're in you're own little bubble or capsule(with top up of course) and actually has less of a blind spot than the coupe.Then of course you can put the top down for that wide open hair in the wind sun on your face experience. Test Driving this coupe has persuaded us to certain mods, which I should be purchasing before the end of the year. If anyone has questions about this coupe feel free to ask. I would not personally buy this coupe for a couple reasons, but would not completely steer anyone away from it if this is what they were looking for, but would strongly suggest a test drive before purchasing. Now for a couple pics and a short vid.
Thanks for reading
