    But I'd still rather ride one; than be chased by one!

    The "turn the key and go" feature would be nice for all Spyders.

    Would be interesting to know how many police departments that are using for patrol vehicles actually paid for them. Also wonder how many that use them have re-purchased for their fleet.

    My guess is that they are being offered at very good deals or free in order to get some of them out and about.



    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    my 2015 is pretty much that -- I turn the key press the mode button and start and go, there's no delay like there was on the RT

    I would say from watching that video, that Spyder looks seriously top heavy and extremely overweight, from the turning and stopping. looks like an accident waiting to happen.

    Nothing in that video leads me to think they are handling any different than other Spyders. What would suddenly make these overweight and top heavy?

    Perhaps just me, but when he is cornering earlier in the video, seems to lean quite a bit, perhaps camera angle, as for the stopping the front end drops quite a bit. Maybe just me ?
