Great looking car. Have fun, watch the rear end when wet or you downshift with the pedal. I shift down first when entering freeways to avoid giving it all the power at once, especially when it's wet. Then is has plenty of power to merge with traffic

Congrats I have a 2005 6 speed I purchased with 17K on the clock. Have put over 80K on it with very little trouble. Clutch switch failure and installed a column lock by pass. Other than that, only maintenance items. Has been a joy to own and drive.
