In case you missed it

going through final options on a revuelto, the only thing I'm swaying on are the rims. I like the Altaneros, but can't decide between shiny titanium or shiny black (the car color is black -- nero noctis).

I've had a bunch of vettes before this, so I'm really burnt on chrome wheels. It's tough to tell how shiny the titanium shiny wheels are from the generated borchure... The look subdued in the picture, but I'm not sure. Black rims look great imho, but may be too much black given the car color. any user pics of altaneros in shiny titanium and in shiny black would be greatly appreciated !!

Been working on various projects to upgrade the first gen and second gen to 2+ standards.

Putting this here for posterity.

Gen 1 -> gen 2+:

• Jury is out on this one. I've attempted to upgrade a first gen with a Samsung panel (in "advanced monitor" properties, under device IDs, it comes up as "SEC"). Although the physical connectors from the monitor to the mobo are identical, I could NOT get it to work. At all. I'm trying to source a sharp panel/BOE digitizer, but getting that information from someone off ebay is difficult.
• In any event, if want to try this, you'll have to source a housing from a 2+ as well as the mobo (of course) and the heatsinks. While everything plugs into the gen2 gen2+, physically nothing on the inside of the housing will swap.
• I'll revert when I source a sharp panel.

Gen 2->2+ :

• This upgrade works flawlessly, and I've done it several times (Another successful surface studio 2 to 2+ upgrade : r/Surface)
• Same as the gen 1, you can't just source a mobo and expect to swap it in (it is *slightly* easier to use a gen 2 housing with a gen 2+ mobo, it is essentially the same form factor, and the connectors all line up, but the ports are different. You'll have to cut them out.

Parts that transfer between all gens:

• MIcrosoft did a decent job of maintaining the same form factor for the mobo, the connectors, and hinges.
• Hinges and monitor cables from the screen -> mobo are the same across all three gen, as far as I can tell.
• Power supply is the same across all three gens
• fans are all the same

zoning in on my next fun/track car. leaning towards a revuelto, but also considering a zr1x or a Temerario.

I drove the revuelto and the Temerario this weekend. The Revuelto is pretty much everything I expected -- loud, quick off the line, horrible rear visibility, but surprisingly comfortable and while the rear visibility was sucky, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

The Temerario, I hate to say, was kind of disappointing. I had it in corsa/performance, but on a hard pull onto the expressway, it was not really in any way exciting. I know this is a car that needs to be in the upper rpms to really shine, but I didn't expect it to be so uninspiring in the low rpms. If I decide not to go into the price point of a Revuelto, I can't imagine going with the Temerario over the zr1x.

Am I missing something here? I wasn't expecting the Temerario to be a low-end rocket ship, but also wasn't expecting it to be so .. meh.. on the lower rpms.

Granted, I only took each for a 15 minute test drive, would love to hear comparisons grom people who have lived with both cars .

Title says it all, haven't been overseas in a few years. flying from NY. I like JAL just for the American points. They flight I'm on would be an a350-1000 (so, I believe one of their newer layouts).

I've heard a lot about "the room" on ANA, the flight is a little cheaper, but I won't get points on an airline I use a lot.

Recommendations?

I installed a gt haus bi-valve titanium exhaust on my trackhawk.. I have headers and their titanium x pipe. The exhaust even with valves closed is on the loud side (I got black flagged at limerock with the closed). GT Haus recently replaced one of the mufflers, and that's helped, but not a ton.

I'm debating adding 7 or 10 inch resonators, likely ticon. I don't have a ton of experience with them (I'm usually looking to go louder, not quieter). The only place I can install is after the headers, before the xpipe. Anyone have any experience? how much do these really reduce volume? I'm really just looking more to decrease the incessant drone at 75-80mph.

I'm zoning in on my next car purchase, looking at either a 750s, zr1x, or ... a revuelto.

I know the revuelto is in a completely different price tier than either the vette or the mclaren-- I was leaning toward the zr1x, as it makes the most objective sense, but everytime I look at the reveulto .. damn.

I have the funds for it, but tying up that much is.. not appealing. I've heard that Lamborghini does some short term financing, which I'd rather do -- to those that have experience with buying new, is this correct? does Lamborghini offer any kind of financing? is it worth it? or just bite the bullet and write the check?
