This sounds like a fancy way of saying the car will burn rubber depending on how slippery the road is.

In other words, yes, the standard F8x has this feature as standard.

Yup

Shows the M4 GTS weight as being only 10 lbs. less than an M4. With the partial cage and added wing, does anybody know, other than the seats, where they were able to implement weight savings? (ex: CF bumpers)

A few that come to mind besides the lighter front seats and rear seat delete:

CF hood
CFRP dash support
Basic audio system (less amps and speakers)
Lighter center console
Lighter door/side panel trims
Less sophisticated HVAC system
Less sound insulation

Don't forget the wider wheels and water injection system that also add some weight.

Thanks - Unfortunately, other than the CF hood, nothing I can really take advantage of on the race car.

Thanks for posting this PDF. I just printed it in color and had Kinkos bind it into a booklet for easy future reference. Nice to have.

The price seems to be increasing by the day, so the sooner the better!

I would like to get myself a model like that, but I'm not sure what color

If I could choose again, I’d go Grey

I had a frozen grey one and the color got old pretty quickly. I have a white one now and I freaking love it. Hands down my favorite car I've owned.
