Will do. I get asked every time I take it out if its for sale. Its really a fun car to drive and the smile it puts on people's face.

Anybody know where the seller came up with 8 Speed Yellow coupes? So then I guess the above posters were right....plenty of meat left on the bone at 50k. That...OR....the overfill issue didn't go away and the current owner just got out of the car before it got worse.

Look at the inventory that dealer has. I bet it was bought by the dealer to keep his inventory "exotic". He's probably charging 10k more than he paid. Check out that Vette conversion barf.

I'm guessing the dealer saw an opportunity to make some money and play up the "rarity". claims the wheels are "GT3" wheels. lol

Ceramic rotors were gone last year - see post #6 where slotted rotors were reported.

Whats crazy to me is they wouldn't bother mentioning GT3 wheels unless they were on the sticker. However, those Twists are correct for a Turbo S (only Turbo S had the darker color twists).

I have the Turbo S GT3 Wheels and I would trade for those darker twists in a heartbeat!

I've gone back & forth on yellow belts. they look cool, but check out any that have been in a car for a while. They are dirt magnets and get dingy fast. There doesn't seem to be a good way to clean them.

I just called BBI autosport to do a PPI on this car. It would seem that I have potentially made a mistake here.

modest mistake. you're smart. a real mistake would be to have just bought it. I've always thought that the few hundred bucks spent on a ppi where the shop doing the ppi told me not to buy the car was the best money spent. I guess that is only true to a point... wouldn't want to do that too often

It has a solid oil leak from both valve cover gaskets which would be indicative of an oil over fill. I just informed the dealer of the issue and will be passing on the car. I really wanted it to be the right one but it's not the car for me.
