NICE!!! Some day when My wife and I are done adopting kids.... and they are all out college... with jobs.... and....and...and... I will hope to buy a GTS that nice. Then again I will prob have 1/4 of my hair be 40 lbs heavier and most GTS's will be over 50 years old and have over a billion miles on the clock!

You have a real nice car Bud... take a vacation from Rennlist this weekend and enjoy it!

BTW, looks like you've got the Koni/Hypercoils on it as well. How do you like the ride? I'm thinking I want that setup for the Charlie Car!

Hope to see it soon, come on down to DFW!!
Chuck, not that car... You remember Jerry G's car...with the three piece wheels. That belongs to another of our Rennlisters now... I think it is normally referred to as "chick's car" or something like that... This one lived its whole life in CA I believe...

Yes, I have a Classic Grey interior, but it does not have a visual reddish colour tint. I have photographed my interior, and the 'tint' is not nearly as apparent as it is in this car.

If you read the owner's previous comments however, he seems to indicate that visually - not just in photos - the grey colour has a 'tint' to it.

Sweeeeeeeeet,

I love it, and i do not see any colour miss match on the rear bumper.
Probably just shades playing tricks on your eyes.
In my mind the perfect year/colour/gearbox GTS.

Interior does have the magenta tint in real life. Looks just like the pictures. A little less without my shades on.

Between grey carpet appearing magenta and black leather appearing grey in photographs, I'm beginning to think that some people just see different colors than other people.

Perhaps this is a way we can tell who are the space aliens amongst us.

Well, with the economy heading for hard times, I can't belive you bought that car. BUT, I am here to help. Drive it to my house and I'll give you $30k for it, plus a steak dinner (open bar, so get drunk), and a plane ticket home.

hehehe, just kidding. Man I wish I was in a position to get one that nice!!

Took the GTS to my mechanic this morning to go over it to make sure there wouldn't be any surprises. Told me the car was in tip top shape and running like a champ. The washer cap and jump terminal cap are on order.

Now, what was that about x-over versus RMB on GTS versus GT. I loved the sound of my GT with the stock exhaust and the RMB. What gets me the same sound on the GTS? I don't want loud, but stock I can't even hear the car in a tunnel with the window down!

Get an RMB 1st, then if you want more tone and HP, get the X-pipe

I can already tell you the RMB will be WAY TO QUIET on a GTS!

As noted earlier... X-pipe PLUS RMB and leave the stock resonators... That should make it just about perfect... I look forward to doing that to my '92 GTS one of these days...already have the RMB in place. I would do it for the power increase on my S4, but then that car would probably be a touch loud and I would need to go back to the UGLY stock muffler... YUCK! I like car just the way it sounds now... Been driving it a fair bit this week now that I have a fully functional A/C in place! YEA!

Darin, a previous owner of the car says he put on a racing fuel pump and adj pressure regulator and with DEVEK 6in exhaust dynoed just over 400 hp. Don't think I want to go that loud, but looks like it has the fuel to take advantage of anything I do exhaust wise.

Well I have x-pipe and race cats on my GT,
it was to quiet with stock rear muffler so I put on an RMB instead.
Now it is a tad to noicy for my taste......
Not sure what is next to find the perfect sound, maybe a smaller than stock rear muffler?
I guess with the bigger stock resonators on the GTS it might be perfect though.
