Can anyone explain the pedal offset thing a little more? Not sure what to expect.
 
Seems like the accelerator is in the same relative place but the brake pedal is closer? Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me unless I’m missing something.

I’ve just heard multiple people and reviewers comment on it. If anything that just looks like it’s easier to blip the throttle while on the brakes without needing to contort your ankle to heel toe.

Agreed. I believe these were taken by @TomE - I think the LHD pedal issue is that they are a little more towards the center of the vehicle. As with any vehicle, especially with manual transmission, there is a brief learning curve before getting used to the layout. Not a big deal to me. The LHD Evora pedal position was similar and felt fine to me (though I did notice the pedals were very close to one another).

That was a good video. I noticed a couple of things immediately; one, the ride is clearly stiffer with the sports setup as you can see the bounce over the changes of the road surface, and two, the shape of the steering wheel keeps the top of it from sticking up into your view out over the hood. Driver's view is excellent, the car sounds great, it seems very solid; no squeaks or rattles.

Can't wait to get my car!
