Thanks guys . . . Its an '04 leftover, with appearance upgrades. '05 hood, SAP autocross front grilles, autocross rear spoiler and 18 inch FZ6 chromes from GM. It is a 6 speed, with all the bells and whistles. The interior is that of blue leather and suede, with black and silver accents.

Bah Mike . . you bought a yellow one with an auto. I bet you're gonna put a stall converter, air intake and some sort of exhaust on it, since its a winter "beater"!! Just my guess though!
Just to think I bought this one without a well paying job to boot, so the mods will have to wait. Oh yeah I did just land another job in a machine shop again, so maybe and just maybe once its broken in properly FI will find its way under the car somewhere.

did you get to rape them like I did. It was stickerd 36900 with the Mc2 rim and tire package and I still got 11k off. They have another black one with rims and the hood stickerd them same and there giving it away as well. Poor bastards.

No, I didn't get to rape them The price was prettey much set at the same $36900 but came down because of being left over but went back up with the MC2 wheel and tire package, hood, spoiler and grille inserts. I also got the gap insurance and put only $500 down. But its all good now.

Hey Tod, youve got good taste. That blue reminds me of the electron blue vettes, my 2nd favorite color and wheels are kickass. I wonder who makes those for GM. Getting tired of mine. Good luck with it and glad the ordeal is over.
