I like the way car comes from the factory. Only thing I hate is the 4x4 suspension from the factory. I like your suspension setup. Did you put in aftermarket struts/shocks?

Thanks for all the support guys, I really didnt think this car would get any positive comments at all.

The OTD price for me anyways was 30,000 I think.. somewhere around there maybe a bit more. 0% fiancing over 5 years so I cant complain, I didnt get a great deal on the car in my opinion but it wasnt a rip either.

Toyota Powah, I agree, reving to 8300 is awsome, the sound, the feel, I love it. I cant stand my 6300 redline, so during my tune I asked for a 7G redline although it doenst make any power up there so I settled for 6500 so when Im ripping through the gears, it allows me a bit of room if I happen to get a bit rev happy.

No aftermarket struts, just springs, I figure this, if they blow, which they are supposed to be tons better then that 05-07 SS supercharged, then I'll splurge on some coilovers.

I hated the interior options as well, the red/black combo was too cheesy, and the white/black looked cheap to me, I settled for the black/black interior, it seemed a bit less plastic, but is still nothing to be proud of except I absolutly love the seats and how they feel.

looks allright. Gotta get some eyelids, those headlights look like the car's eyes are popping out. Same thing was with the pre-facelifted 3 series. Only in the facelifted models is the googly-eyed problem cured.

When you break in the car, tell us how it handles 260 horses on the front wheels
