Infrared, been waiting for 10 days to deliver from Pittsburgh to Houston. The moment I ignited this red beauty made me satisfied, that engine sound!
P.S.: 2021 with dynamic package. I'm not a fan of the touchpad control but the original layout of the interior is better than the 2024 touch screen imo

Congrats on the purchase. The color is spectacular. Being a ‘21, how many miles? And if you don’t mind me asking, what was the purchase price? Mine is a 2018 but also has the performance package, now known as Dynamic Handling Package.

Congrats - she’s a beauty! Yep - I have several different ways I can get to work and even though one is slightly longer I usually go that way cuz I get to drive under 3 or 4 overpasses that come right after a stoplight - the sound when accelerating hard and timing the 1-2 shift with the top down under an overpass is glorious. I’ll also needlessly downshift under the overpasses for the same reason Enjoy!

Hey guys, I might have to consider buying a used one, due to also not being a fan of the iPad touchscreen... but it has many other improvements, so torn what to do. But the main reason for my post is if anybody here knows what's the deal with the suspension tuning over the years. Read that the initial suspension was very harsh, while also wallowy (just like my ex-SC430), which is the worst of both worlds. It was supposedly improved for 2019 and 2020, I believe, only to go back to bad in either 2021 or 2022. I also don't want gimmicks that detract from the driving experience, like RWS, variable ratio steering, or even the rear spoiler... but I want the Torsen diff (with the Yamaha dampers), and ML stereo. Also don't want Alcantara on the seats, so it'd be quite hard to find such a vehicle (touring package with Torsen and ML, and hopefully HUD). Hope the car handles better than its 4,300-lb suggests... but can't defy physics, unfortunately, so I'd settle for just acceptable.

Finally, I much prefer a '22 or newer, to have minimal miles, and still some warranty left. Curious how the suspension is on those years, compared to a '24. And no, I haven't been able to drive a car, and probably won't be able to, at this pace. So want to avoid making yet another mistake again. Considering the F-Type P450 RWD and C8 Coupe as well, both under 2-tons. Thank you.

Thanks! I purchased this 21 has 6,100 miles on it with half PPF, DHP and some other options, the original MRSP was 106k I believe. The price I offered was $80.5k
