The HUD is great. Doesn't play nicely with polarized sunglasses but nothing new there. I didn't spend much time looking at the cockpit so can't really give a perspective there.

The exercises were on a short track so there wasn't much shifting going on. Others who have had these out on larger tracks can likely comment better.

Lots of fun though!

..the grill grew on me but the side mirrors?! They stick out horribly..

Ultimately I still love the car.

What were the performance maneuver modules? Was it worth the $250? 30 minute seat time seems a lil short for a half day event.

I thought the pricing was fair for a half day session in a car that I ordered but have never driven with the opportunity to change my spec based on what I learned and experienced. I realize that may not be everyone's position so the pricing may not be of the same value.

Performance maneuvers consisted of ABS breaking at different speeds and at steering angle. Accident avoidance at varying speeds (a fun one to throw the car without applying the breaks) followed by ABS stopping. Timed autocross lapping.

Fun way to spend a half day with some well credentialed racing instructors who were happy to talk shop in between seat time.
