The only thing I do not like are the head rests because they are too far forward no matter what you do with them. It's okay on the street but really shows itself when you have a helmet on.

Wonder if the world seats would have been better for the track? The head rest doesn't appear as massive.

Some people take the head rests out and bend the posts back a little bit and it makes it way better.

I took a second look at the blue paint. It actually has some metallic and (maybe) pearl in it that I didn't notice at first. It's really nice.

Wonder if lowering the seat height will be as popular as in the Evo. I felt like I sat higher in the RS even compared to stock Evo seat height.

Nitrous blue is nice up close but hoping the debut liquid blue eventually makes it on the option list. If not then white.

Just FYI, there's also a guy at AX that drives a modified '66 427 AC Cobra. I'm trying to get vid, because it literally sounds EXACTLY like the Charger from the first Fast and the Furious. So sexy. What a beast...

One of his videos from another event:

The thing is a beast. Yesterday's course was big enough that I hit third gear. I wish I had vid of the Cobra because that thing was on fire. Sounded amaaaazing. I still beat him though lol
