[QUOTE=98TypeR#21,Apr 7 2009, 08:33 AM] 1500 miles in 24 hours is over 60MPH average for 24 hrs straight.

Here's how it breaks down, and last I checked most interstates are 65mph... and most drive 70 to 75
Actually I have to admit I rarely drive 60 (or even 70 or 75). I do "pass through" those speeds briefly on on/offramps as well as when my V1 goes off.

LOL. I drove to and from Florida last month in my 'new' 2005, and it was great. Couldn't put the top down until Florida going down, because it was just too cold, but the ride was smooth (I'm on Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires, living in NY) and no complaints! Even my boyfriend (who was my navigator and cup holder) had to admit we could do it again. Did the return trip (about 1200 mi.) in one day, but wouldn't recommend it! About three hours too long!

Thanks guys, this car is a blast to drive. The engine sounds so beastly for a 4 cylinder.

Plans are,

AP2 lip, Gp side and rear, CR wing, with Mugen (replica) Hardtop. All in white.

I want different rims also, any suggestion?

Very nice! I have dreams of a similar setup! Can I recommend Prodrive GC-07c's? I'm partial...

How about AP1 rims off of my '03?? I like your rims, so we trade straight up? They'd look great on my Berlina Black!
