Manual and red, no mods at the moment, did not want to rush it, had to make sure I get the right Bits!

Wortec sport pac will soon be fitted with electric switchable exhaust.

May get exhaust done first, and then supercharger.

Welcome. I hope you don't mind getting LOTS of attention from everyone. I have a red one too and the thing is like a beacon!! Had 4 or 5 people come over in petrol stations, (includind 2 policemen!) just wanting to know what it is. Best one though, driving into my estate, old white cavalier in front of me just stops. Cool blond lass jumps out and says, I quote, "oh man that car is just gorgeous. Can I ask what it is? Sounds amazing too." Still can't believe that! The attention is all good though, no malicious stuff.
I love the car, sure you will too.
