Picked up a new to me CPO'd Blackwing in 6MT with the IMSA Watkins Glen package. I am coming from an Integra Type S (ITS), and had a 997.2 before that. It's almost been a week but so far I am in love with the 4BW. I think it is the best of all worlds and only has a few compromises. I was worried that I'd miss the utility of the ITS but there are so many advantages other than the performance aspect. Not sure if anyone else owned an ITS, but it was really short on the luxury department. Aside from the smaller things like homelink buttons, memory seats, and better tech customization, the biggest surprise was how comfortable and advanced the BW suspension is. It's firm but not harsh and doesn't toss me around like the ITS did. The interior of the BW does feel quite a bit tighter, but as a 3rd car, it's not a big deal. I think the only part that the ITS did noticeably better was the sound system-- the AKG isn't impressive. I am sure I will have some questions along the way, the BW has some oddities and there is a lot to unpack with the performance settings.
