I had the opportunity to drive the MC Victory GranSport this weekend during the Monterey festivities. What a car!! Not much different in performance than the GranSport I had driven previously, but the seats are phenomenal and the carbon fiber treatment with the blue thread is very nice. The interior has a purposeful race-car feel with the alcantara surfaces and carbon fiber throughout. Additionally, the paddles are HUGE. You can grab them with your hands in almost any position on the steering wheel - not that you'd want to, but they're very long and accessible. The seats are comfortable despite being tight - I'm not sure how comfortable they'd be if I were larger though (I'm 160lbs at 5'11") - but if you plan on any track work, you'd never need another seat. They still tilt forward enough to make the back seat accessible, though not quite as much as the coupe.
The colors I saw for the Victory cars were silver and metallic black (I saw no blue Victory's this weekend). All three MC Victory's I saw had black interiors.
I have to tell you, there's nothing quite like blasting down 17 mile drive toward the ocean at about 60mph, down shifting for a 90 degree right hander and flooring it up to about 90mph before slowing for pedestrians. The brakes, the sound of the engine, the whole package is incredibly addicting. And the MNA representative couldn't have been nicer...
