Hi all, I actually have owned the car and been a member for about 2 months now but haven't had time to post! I picked up one of the few remaining 2018 Panthera Metal GT1 AWDs end of October. I lusted over this color because it's a little more subtle than the blue and reds. Finding one proved difficult locally so I bought it out of state and drove back home 6hrs. It's been worth it! Great car.

I found that strange too and probably would have gone with the GT2 if it was available. The extra goodies weren't all that important to me in the end and I love the color. It's still the only one in the area I have seen.

Thanks. I've definitely been looking hard at the piggyback chips available as well as intakes and doing some exhaust work at some point. It will get more power soon :). I plan on keeping it all pretty mild as I don't want to compromise ride quality or driveability too much. I had a 70mm turbo v8 mustang before this that was a little too rowdy. It was loads of fun for several years but some days you just want to get in and go, you know? IME most mods come at some cost and compromise the original nature of the vehicle in some way, often improving one aspect at the expense of something else. It's an addicting game of chasing power and handling sometimes! I love the true GT nature and comfort of this vehicle and don't want to ruin that. We'll see!
