So no spare tire is available with the SS?


Edit: Nevermind, I see it comes with tire pressure warning and a sealer and inflator kit

I wonder if a weight reduction kit is an option.

Anyways, it would be nice if a roots blower were an option.

I'd assume any straight male would be giddy at the Playboy Mansion (at 31, I sure would be).

Looks like the 1SS is stripped enough it could be sub 30k

Only thing I want that the 1SS does not have is a USB jack...but I can take care of that myself.

Dang. I really wanted white with red stripes...

And, do you guys really want your dealers installing some of this stuff? Like, headers and stripes? I'd get mine back and the stripes whould be crooked and they'd have crossed the O2 sensor wires...
