How do you guys handle the attention?

I finally saw the 1LE in person. It was Red Hot and all I can say this thing is just insane. It just blew me away. Seeing it in photos, it's looks great but I wasn't expecting to be blown out of my socks like I was. I'm not ordering until August because I'm saving up for a down payment. Having seen it in person and being blown away by it, it has me thinking about the attention it will get. Being 37 years old, married with kids, attention isn't something I seek nor want. I just want a bad ass 2 dr car. When I bought the G8 it was almost unbearable so there were times I took my wife's car out instead. Is this something you guys have had to deal with or is it just me?

I too am not seeking attention,guess i should im single.I dont look at people when i drive,cause quite frankly i dont like people ,but whenever im getting gas,or at the track, i always have someone say something. At Willow springs last month i had a guy with a supercharged Mustang ask if he could talk to me about my car.Long story short, he is ordering a 1LE,and selling his Mustang.I must admit this car is pretty **cking cool
make sure you continue to save your money,and order this car,you wont be disappointed.

Mine gets a bit of attention. A lot of kids and often a random passerby wanting to talk about it. It's not uncommon. I like when people ask about it though and am happy to stop and chat for a minute.

I get compliments all the time. I love seeing the heads turn. Not many people talk to me about it, just give a compliment or two. Really doesn't bother me.

If you're ordering in August, it'll be a 2014 leftover or a 2015 (provided they still offer the 1LE).

How to handle the attention?

You can tint the windows to the max your local laws allow, and cower as you drive.... OR you could do like I do, and drive with no tint at all, like being naked really, lol.

It's the nature of the beast, it's an extroverted one, you have to live with it I fear.

I don't get any attention in mine. When I find myself next to a possibly attractive woman at a stoplight (who can tell, really, with it being dark out so early) I'll lay on my horn for 10-15 seconds at a time. I also will floor the accelerator while in neutral so she (hopefully it's a "she") will hear my powerful internal combustion aphrodisiac and look over. If she's lucky and deserving of it, I'll do both at the same time. How do I do this if it's on an incline? Hill assist, my friend.

You could always get black or AGM they aren't quite as in your face as red/yellow... That being said they are still pretty flashy
