You name it i've had it or got it...
my bet is the ones that you will see that are "ruined" will be someone like sony making a car for their show car....or something along those lines. they will do something like add 800 tvs to it....put tvs on the rims, on the headliner, the steering wheel, the tail lights...etc etc. you obviously hope that actual buyers of a car like this would respect it...but who knows....there is always someone with bad taste and too much money on their hands that slips through the cracks..

i love the pics...the more i think about this car the more i get excited. i mean holly crap....i don't think people realize what this car is. screw the fast and the furious crap...this car has been a performance icon for so long. we were just unfortunate to not be some of the lucky ones to be able to go to a dealer and buy one, so most of us don't fully comprehend what it is capable of. i mean seriously the performance is unreal. 11.7 quarter....3.5 0-60....6 speed sequential...and the best part....TURBO. This car will be a 10 second car with minor upgrades The only thing I am afraid of....is if it is everything that it is supposed to be...how I will justify buying more expensive cars now especially when this car is slated to have a base price of 68k
