Good to know! We'll see what happens with me too...I'm sure it's very different from my car.

I did drive one right before ordering it in November, but it was about 15 minutes, so not sure if I was isolating suspension feel over the newness of everything I was seeing/feeling.

Glad you have it, finally!!

My G87 with MP HAS and cf inlets is at the VPC in Baltimore and work order started as of 2/28. Could those who have gotten their cars chime in on when I could expect it to be dispatched to a carrier? Thanks and congratulations on your new cars!

My M2 got fitted with the MP HAS kit at the VPC in Baltimore. My car spent 7 days in Baltimore before being dispatched to carrier.

This is the longest I've been away from this site. I have been enjoying the vehicle. It has arrived with 13 miles, now it has 370 on it lol.
I went to a huge family function and was able to share it, they loved it. My mom even wanted me to come to her city on Sunday to give her a drive and we took a nice country road drive and found a vineyard where we enjoyed a charcuterie plate and wine flights.

What a great experience. I am also glad to have secured a garage for it. It was so stressful the first night having it under my carport lol.

Mine arrived at the port in Galveston on 2/19. It was assigned to a carrier last Thursday, 2/29, making it 10 days spent at the VPC/port.

CA called me to confirm the car had NOT arrived as of this morning.

Dude, where's my car?

LOL

How far are you away from the port? Surely it should not take more than a few days for the car to arrive over land. The worst thing about this process is each stage kind of being in limbo rather than like incremental updates every couple days.

It's about a 3 hour drive from the port (depending on who's driving! LOL).

Yeah, it's not the biggest deal. I will be fine once I get the car whether it's in 2 days or 12. But you're right: it may be the expectation of having systems to track the progress, but maybe someone comes in and updates the progress every X number of days, and if you catch it at the wrong time, multiple steps happen between their checks.

Not sure if that's what's happening, but oh well. Like I said, not the biggest deal, but still. haha

P zero but still the best tires I've had on any vehicle lol. Do they completely suck? I'll get the Michelin later though 😎

Man.. where the heck is your car, you west Texas right around Austin? I can't wait to see your reaction. Also I got a stellar rate with state farm. 230$ a month, which is what I pay for my accord with geico lol. Accord now is 150$.
Yes I'm getting used to it, think it had to settle in or break in lol it does bounce me around like my accord does. My head hits the headrest. First performance car and with suspension so IDK what to expect. But I'm loving it

I plan on getting MP HAS and the CF inlets. Please let me know how it turns out.

[abrandonment]

The ride change is why I didn't do HAS... love the look but I'm getting old.

Anybody who tells you the Michelin are better than the Pirelli is lying to you. Take their opinion with a heavy grain of salt.
The fact is no one knows anything but everybody keeps repeating this BS of “tire lottery” because it’s the thing to talk about.

That said, hope you get the Michelins later and remember how your Pirellis were when new to compare (hard to compare to old bald tires) and then let us know.

yeah from what I can tell the main observable difference is the Pirelli don't last as long

Impossible to ascertain as well.
I’ve seen Michelins needing replaced at 5,000 miles. Hardly the tire, more so the drive style/conditions.

Forgot to mention in my earlier response:

I also got the carbon fiber rear diffuser and the MP HAS that would be installed at the port, in case that could be a factor in time spent at the port.
