Love the CS car ^^^. A lot of money for the scaffolding but it really adds to the ambience of the car. First option I ticked and wouldn't want a GT4 without it now.
Totally agree. Huge lift.
Ambience. Strange way of looking at a roll bar. For me it's the likelihood of it saving me from injury vs the weight, which is exacerbated by being high up.

I am going on a PH forum break, as values and colours is not doing it for me, and along with some nasty ****** (trolls) I am going to have a break (will please the trolls though) or maybe not, they will have to find some one else for personal attacks.

But have you gone cold turkey or are you peeking to see people's responses?

Wow, very interesting post in particular the stats spreadsheet with over 900 USA cars details.

Some very interesting stats so far...

Colour
23.3% White
15.1% Saphire Blue
11.4% Racing Yellow
7.6% GT Silver
7.2% Agate Grey
7.2% Guards Red
5.8% Carrara White Met
5.8% Black
5.1% Carmine Red
4.1% Dark Blue Met
3.7% Jet Black Met
3.1% Rhodium Silver
0.8% PTS various

Seats
30.6% 2-way
27.2% 18-way
42.2% LWB

Brakes
73.5% Steel
26.5% PCCB

Sport Chrono
61.6% Yes
38.4% No

Wheels
54.9% Platinum
38.4 Black
6.6% Silver

Climate
52.3% Std a/c
47.2% Dual Zone
0.4% a/c Delete

and perhaps most surprising of all to me:

Fire Ext
48.6% Yes
51.4% No

Fuel Tank
84.9% 64ltr
15.1% 54ltr

Yes that Fire Ext seen as important in US/Canada not sure why. Thought LWB percentage would have been higher but maybe P/head readers don't represent the whole population!

I thought LWB would have been lower. no mention of folding buckets?
Also 64 l fuel tank is a no brainer as its a no cost option and weighs the same as the 54 l one, just don't add as much fuel I guess and more capacity for a long european blast etc.

Also surprised Yellow is so popular and not many white cars here on PH either from what I have seen?

LWB's were unavailable for quite a few months in the USA, similar to the UK, so that is likely the reason. As for the colours, Yellow was 2nd until a few days ago when Blue took over, but I suspect overall Yellow will end up being second, it is after all the launch colour (and looks stunning).

No CS option in the USA hence no automatic requirement for LWB.

Who's going to start the PH survey?

This is the reason.

Reading the collators comments: LWB have fluctuated enormously - exactly in line with availability. Currently LWB are running at 70%.
