I actually really dig the blue. White is always nice too, but the blue is something different. Reminds me of the Jag XF-R blue (I think)..

The white and blue are just photoshopped versions of the yellow car that they showed today. I hope they offer some cool or unique colors once I'm able to order it. If not, then it'll probably be blue to match the Raptor.
My initial thoughts are to go with the 7 speed manual (w/rev-matching).....but I'll see what the 8 speed automatic has to offer. "Wide-open-throttle upshifts executed up to eight-hundredths of a second, quicker than the dual-clutch in the Porsche 911". It is supposedly quicker shifting than the new 911. That would be impressive.

It's not going to shift that fast most of the time, else things get a little ouchy in the transmission under load.
Shift speed is such a strange spec, and not really meaningful. It doesn't really matter how long the shift takes without knowing all of the rest of the things that go along with it, like the time that power is reduced to partially unload the transmission and then reapply power after the shift, etc. The shift time is also not constant because it's calculated from other inputs using tables and vectors, just like fueling and ignition values are according to engine parameters.. Anything less than about 250ms is pretty fucking fast though, even without knowing the rest of the fairly useless specs that go along with it. Can you tell the difference between 80 or 100 or 200ms shifts in a street car? Not likely.

That's about half the time (twice as fast) as an Enzo, which is about 150ms.

I could only imagine if Kate Upton threw herself at you. Where as anyone else on the forum would just rape the shit out of her, you'd do an analysis on the correct thrusting motion to maximize the harmonics so that you reach peak performance at the ideal time and write a technical document on what you'd do better next time around.
