R model

I read that there will be an R model coming out with some of the gadgets removed to lower weight. Should be fun.

I just read about it as well. I think it is going to sticker around 24K.

[Jrod@Buschur]

Yes there is. There is a R-spec model coming out. It was supposed to be released in July but was delayed. Its a stripped down 4 cylinder model. Available in a track and "base" package.

[TheDream]

Cool. Hows the tuning coming Jarrod?

[jrmotorsports55]

Sounds like the way to go.

Thats it? Only 100lbs?

Its definitely going to make it cheaper.

Yep, only a 100lbs...I was hoping for more too. Might not even quite be 100...could only be about 80 if my math is right.

I wanted to trade in the Track right away for it but sounds like I am going to take to big of a bath with my car only having 3900 miles. Looks like I will be sticking with what I have.

Yeah for the creature comforts and options you have you could find 100lbs in there im sure.

Passenger seat, sound deadener under the carpet, spare tire, jack, all the crap in the trunk,etc...

Totally agree...I really don't want to give up my cruise control ...it will be nice to have on those jaunts to come see you guys

[TheDream]

With a USAA discount you can get the R spec for around 21-22k

[Kstallard34]

Yeah 100lbs isnt that big of a difference to me.

[jrmotorsports55]

I think I'd rather keep the cruise as well.
