lol, yeah. It's been fixed. I'm disappointed that the wheels have the "GT" emblazoned on them. I know they're the same wheels from the GT/CS but in the catalog the pics did not have the "GT" on them.

I also agree that the rims should not say GT on them seeing as this car is not a GT. The nice thing is you don't have to have those rims on the perf package. I picked the 18" rims and like the looks much better. I may go next week and see what I can get.

My problem is that I don't like any of the other V6 wheels. I like the perf pack wheel style just not the GT. I will probably end up with them regardless.

In a perfect world I would buy the wheels from the GT Brembo package. Those are my absolute favorite of all of the available options.

I know wheels can be changed after the car is purchased but I'd rather put the money into other add-ons.

The wheels shown on the configurator are wrong, those wheels are the GT/CS wheels with the gray paint between the spokes. And you do have to get those wheels if you order the performance package, the optional 18" wheels showing in the accessory wheels will not go through on the actual order. This is another goof in the configurator.

The V6PP wheels will be black between the spokes and they DON'T have the "GT" machined into them.

Get some 3.73 gears and your talking a 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds.

3.73's will be too much gear for the V6 cars considering how low first gear is in the tranny, auto tranny has a 4.17 first gear and the manual has a 4.236 first gear, no need to go with a super short rear gear. A 3.55 gear would be the lowest rear gear to go with on the V6.

That is absolutely fantastic news. You have no idea how happy that makes me.
