Sorry for the pics. Its cooooold and snowy outside, and didn't want to move the car outside just for pics.




Man that is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thanks guys for the rest of the interiour pictures. Yeah those 2010 interiors are sweet no doubt.

Dude, that is just silly. I wish people would stop making such a silly argument every time someone has a comment about the 2010. Its the same car with a few minor tweaks. The interior was redesigned, that is why we are talking about it, but the motor and suspension are 99% the same. You will always have some minor differences from one year to the other, it's called planned obsolescence. If they were the same you wouldn't buy it. Not knocking the 2010 anyway. For those that like it, more power to ya. I love my '09 and wouldn't trade it, even for the 5.0.

As for the pictures of the OP's car, where the heck are they? I see no pics here.

i don't want to get too off topic... but, while it isn't a vast improvement over the 05-09 models. the 2010 does out perform that era of the s197's

the car is basically the bullitt package with some more tweaks to the suspension. and the bullitt package outperformed the base gt. so... yeah... it seems rather backwards to be calling the 2010 a "luxo-sports" car because it has a nicer, more refined, interior than the 05-09. porsche's have some pretty nice interiors too... i suppose they're not really sports cars either then?

back on topic... i really want to see some full car pics. I think it would look better with some racing stripes though, you've got some blue on the grill to go over now to get the stripes all the way down.

i think my biggest issue is that it makes the gap over the grill from the hood stand out more

That looks great. I remember seeing the grille painted on the Paxton GT and thinking that looked good. I really like the '10 Roush fascia.

Clearly you haven't driven a '10.

OP: How long is your car staying parked? Just wondering because I see the towels under your wheels. FYI I park my '68 for months at a time and I've had zero issues with flat spots on the tires. Over inflating the tires is a good way to prevent this from happening (~40psi).
