Just to clear up a few miss quotes. Yes you can get the radio/AC delete, however adding the radio with sound plus, costs nothing, in fact, it also includes blue tooth and the ipod connector at no charge as well. The A/C add cost is just for the install of the A/C. I decided to add the A/C and the radio, as well as heated seats and sports exhaust. The weight savings is also due to aluminum doors, truck lids, ultra light 19 " rims.
The other point I would like to mention is this car is not for everyone and it is also not just for rich people. I'm not rich, but work hard for what I have. I decided on the Spyder after I had a deposit on a 2011 Shelby GT500. That car spec'd out to my liking was almost 60K. When I saw the Spyder at the LA Auto Show, I was sold. I would never buy a Spyder in cold or wet climate areas or as a daily driver. Here in Northern CA, you have ideal weather.
The Spyder will hold it's value, with less than 600 being produced in the US and rumors that it will not be in the line up because of the new Boxster due out in 2012. A one MY run would for sure make it even more exclusive. Mine is on the ship and is to be in port San Diego on 5/29 and to my dealer by 6/4-7th. I ordered it in Nov, so it has been a long 7 months. I'm looking forward to many years full of Sunday drives
