And who is not being an armchair praiser or critic at this point before the car has been released?

I misread the article indeed LS diff std., Torsen LS optional. Not sure that approach makes sense for a "track ready special" (your phrase). Perhaps the adjutable suspension should be an option as well?

Many who drive their DCTs aggressivel or track them appreciate the DCT for its performance and versatility. I do both. Sure their have been some growing pains and bugs but even with those the DCT is rated by most as a solid 9 or even 9.5/10.

My point was that the wider rubber will be a significant contributor to the cars lap times, that's it.

You meant to leave out the "not" above. Anyway I disagree. It is a production street car and like the majority of other track oriented production street cars most will never see a track.

I would argue it is not a game changer at all and well optioned it does not appear that it will be particularly affordable either. Of course that term is highly subjective but it will probably be well into the $40k range.
