really HARD passing up my 2018 GT but ive seen too many videos on youtube of that transmission jumping around getting lost.
Did you get the A8 or M6? I love the 392/A8 combo. Be aware the replacement cost for those brake pads/rotors is absurd. Love the T/A and destroyer gray as well. Did you get it from Koons? I know they had some awesome deals on their site lately.

Also you really won't notice much of a difference between the 4 piston brembos and the 6 piston. Either way be grateful you got the wider tires. Don't know why manufacturers like to under tire their cars. Especially Ford and Dodge. Putting 245 width tires on a 485hp car is a terrible idea.

i got the A8.

how long do the brembos generally last, and what is the cost to replace?

i got it at Leith in Wake Forest.

You should get some miles out of them. Depends on how much/hard you use them I guess.

I've seen people as early as 30-40k miles. I'm never hard on my brakes so I expect much more. Pads and rotors just replacement parts is probably over $1,000. I've seen some dealers charge $2k for parts and labor.

Looking good! A10 or M6? I see that it's performance package. What options?

A10 and active exhaust. Just ordered a JL audio Stealthbox since i didn’t get the Shaker audio. Tint is coming soon too.. A10 has been awesome so far! Too many lights and terrible traffic where I live to have a manual tranny.

I'm against the norm, I'd take a modern automatic any day over a manual.

I'd order mine as A10, magneride, PP, active exhaust.
