Picked up my 17 ag scab a few days ago.
Passed on an early build because I didn't care if the truck came in spring.
My build got pulled in December and delivered shortly after.

I've had 3 gen 1 scabs, that I put 30k miles on apiece. The gen 2 feels lighter/tighter/quicker.

The gen 2 is quick, feels quicker than the gen 1. The trans is fine. Put it in sport mode, and the auto stop turns off automatically. In sport mode the trans hold gears better, and you can lock out 8-9-10, which keeps thing punchy.

It's a solid truck. I'll report back with some other observations. But for now, it's a keeper. FYI, Mines an 801a, which doesn't feel to be lacking anything...

Good info, nice to know sport kills start stop and agree locking out top gears will keep things responsive.

Porsches are fun snow beasts with winter tires. I have done a decent about of playing in the snow with my 911 turbo as well.

This truck does not sound bad...it doesn't bother me, let's say that.
Paying more attention, you don't even need to lock out gears in sport mode. The trans rarely goes past 7th if you are not cruising at a fixed sped.
