Congrats. Looks like you got it in its best form which is RWD F-Sport with limited slip. Let us know if you have driven past F sports and how it compares to yours with LSD.

OP - Looks great!! I have a similar one except in Canada, we can't get RWD anymore otherwise, I would have ordered the RWD too. I think yours is red inside as well, from the limited interior view I could see.

The rear deck lip looks really nice

Here's what my tach looks like during a cold start. I am playing with the various driving modes... I'm guessing this is the same as prior year F Sports?

I noticed right away the higher redline my 2015 gauge goes to 6700 looks like yours goes to 6900
although with my rr racing tune I can go to 7200

Oh, is that the reason for the HP increase from 305 HP to 311 HP?
