^One of my customers just picked up a gray one, no stripes with full options for I think $140K. I don't know how many miles, but probably around 5K, maybe less.

Superfly, awesome pictures and it looks like a super fun event. Thanks for sharing.

Good GT's are still around 160, but they can be had as IIVVX suggests for the low 100's. TT conversion is actually only around 35, installed, but can run as high as 60 if you get carried away with options like aftermarket TC etc.

As for my Dymags, 19x12 rears and 18x9 fronts. I can't recall the offsets, but I'll pull that info and get it to you. You can't get Dymags anymore (more's the pity), but there's some really cool new wheel options out there now. Some guys are going 19 front 20 rear, but I wanted to stay with the stock 18/19 set up, just wider. More tire options (which are pretty limited).

^^^ I can't believe I said "only" around 35 installed This is how you can tell I'm starting to talk myself into one.......
