I'm not saying this just because he's my son, but he's a good looking chap, works out and is a hellava grappler (MMA), is studious, to the point where he skipped a grade, got into college at 17, and is entering UC Berkeley as a Sophomore (pre med). All it takes in one girl to mess all of that up, which is why I told him if he ever sees a girl smiling at him, walk the other way! Not that he'll listen to me, but I'm clinging to hope

The real difference, from an overall performance perspective, is the suspension. The Performance is no longer the same car with rubber band rubber and more power.

Saw one on the road this morning in Ultra Red. Looks absolutely stunning! Tried to snap a pic, but couldn't get close enough before it made a turn. I can't wait to get my hands on one
