I thought about listing all the changes they made to the chassis but that would take awhile, lets just say its very extensive. Engine mods are only limited to a new tune which improves throttle response (a lot) and turbo lag (a bit). Base model comes with IMO much nicer wheels, and can be bought without negotiating for $1000 below invoice ($32,000 with delivery).

However, I'm gonna hold out for a few years until they update the engine with direct injection. Cross shopping with a M235i (which is farrrrrr more expensive, about 50K with very limited options) but I want something with more differences than my 911.
