I picked up this black beauty last Wednesday April 20th and let me tell you this car is far beyond my expectations. I sold my 99 cobra vert for this and couldn't be more glad that I did. I was so lucky to get this car. I went into the dealer about a month ago to see if I could order one just like this and was told they aren't accepting orders anymore. The sale guy said he would give me a call if he got one like I wanted but not to get my hopes up. I figured I would be waiting to get an 06 model. Last tuesday he called and said he got a black 5spd with IUP and red leather and I was there the next day to sign papers and bring it home :D

Finally had some nice weather today so I snapped some pics:

ZenGirl, haven't really had a real race yet but some older guy in his new caddy CTS tried to take me off the line so I showed him my tail lights. :nice:

This car is really fast. I had pretty much every bolt-on for my 99 cobra and this car feels almost as fast completely stock. It seems like it gets a bit faster everytime I drive it too. I'm very impressed with it's performance. Only think I dont like is I think it should've come with wider tires out back, at least 255/45/17. Future mods will be JBA axle-back exhaust, SCT tune, and JMS CAI at the least. Hopefully 18 inch wheels, wider tires, and springs to follow.
