I like the re-tuned MDM and EDC for the comp pkg if it is what I believe it is being hyped to be. But the package should also include and ECU re-tune, big brakes and air ducting onto the brakes for cooling. 10mm drop is not so bad if it helps handling. Also, change the steering to be a bit tighter. Loose some sound proofing to save weight and let the driver hear the engine. Offer the lighter, non electric seats as an option too. The GTS exhaust would be nice but it seems it won't meet EPA regs. Better would be one of the titanium exhausts, like Akrapovic, but EPA compliant. If they did this the comp package would be a real bargain and I bet would be a better seller. No need for the GTS except for hard-core racers. Anyone else agree?

Cheers,

Ersin
