Lexus is the same way, the cool stuff is in Japan.

what would that wood shifter cost?

 

$400 or so, I just paid $750 for the wood/leather wheel vs dealer MSRP of $1500 so I'm quite pleased.



This is my friends car with the full wood package among many other Germany only options, I have a list he is going though and sourcing for me. In this picture he is trying to sell me on very rare limited edition stitching

 

Thats totally worth it.

Yeah we talked about the wood leather wheels, were totally unavailable here in the US.

 

I was incorrect, the shifter is $1100 new. Price was what I got one locked in for....wheel was accurate

 

Sure.

So you're telling me top end, or from a high speed pull LS430 would beat an Accord with the 2.0t? LS430 does have long highway legs.

 

What does that have to do with his W12 A8L?

 

Yes it does, 100+ is the domain of large engines and low drag

 

Why must you pick so much?

We were just flat talking about high speed pulls and Striker had mentioned basically all of his relevant cars' behavior at those speeds. Scroll up and see for yourself.

 

I'm not picking, I'm just trying to make sure his thread doesnt get closed since we already screwed it up

 

I did 100 miles under ideal conditions today.....to say it over-performed is an understatement.

I'm now really hopeful that it will average well once service is done.

 

It was not lying! Based on odometer and fill amount the in car MPG tracker is accurate.



Obligatory fill up photo.

All is shining, all is chrome.

 

25mpg from a W12?

Nice. That is a wholly acceptable— good even — fuel economy for the baddest of the bad (literally and figuratively, hah), 12 cylinders.

Sad they’re all ripped away for reasons beyond our control.

 

Not mine but I now have shipping tracking info!

Got the key dressed out a little bit....


This is also on the way

As are some laser based emblems

 

Well heck if you are getting all that wood then go ahead and get the wood shifter over the piano black shifter.

 

Say no more! Ordered!

I also just picked up a official USB charger, a charger for the RSE headphones, alum pedals, an espresso maker, and a few other things as well.....I think I have actually gone off the deep end with this car.



Some of the stuff I ordered, this is an example pic of items from my friend

The USB charger, super super nice and all metal with matching lights to the car

I may order one of these as well to use an mini trash cans, they make a phone holder version as well
