Well, not new exactly....I ended up buying a 00 GTS this weekend. For the price, I think this was by far the best car out there for me. My drive home was a 350 mile jaunt from St. Louis to Cincinnati, which gave me plenty of time to get acquatinted with my new toy. Overall, I am very impressed, but I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir on that one. Handing is great, lift is great, breaks are really great, and I even like the stock stereo. The car had new Dunlops all around so I don't know how the compare to the stock Yokos, but they seem to be a real nice tire in their own right. Don't mind the peaky engine, it's got more torque than my old daily driver SE-R, so I'm a happy camper. Great on gas too, for as much as I was pushing it. I think my first mod will be synthetic tranny oil. Also, the car only came with three floor mats (missing the driver mat); are there any dealer alternatives for a new set? Well, I'll probably be around here as I get more acquainted with my car -- and the mod bug will eventually hit, as it always does.
