Again this strange short shifting just like in the GT4 videos, I don't get it.

With the tall gearing the video would be too long if they revved it out in each gear

You're probably right. The manual roof on the MX-5 is a good bit of kit though.

Think the decals would have looked good...

+1. I'd go as far to say even the gts bumper is a bit fussy & angular- think the standard one looks & integrates the best. Though efficiency is an entirely different matter I guess.

That was exactly my conclusion. I've not been able to imagine letting go of my 987 but I'm now thinking, can I miss the opportunity to get one of the first of these? Decisions, decisions......

dark colours would work better

no need for the GT4 bits .. 99% of drivers won't notice their absence on public roads.

I disagree, I find the standard brakes underwhelming. More power and not more braking ability is poor show.

Ah, I read that it was the standard brakes.
