I think the prices will be pretty good if past history indicates anything.....we'll have to start hunting one down for 'ya. It'd be good to have you back more often!
There are not alot of body mods available, but I like the body just as it is. I have already done a few performance upgrades through D3 Research & Design, but just like the Xfire they are expensive. I have already spent about $4k thus far that has produced a 75hp gain. Next will be wheels, tires and exhaust (+12-20 more ponies) and then that will end my performance mods, just want to reach the 400hp neighborhood and I will be satisfied. I have been keeping an eye on prices for the SRT6 and Limited Roadsters and if the economy does not get any worse, I will return to the fold.

Mike....I would love to have one also, just the idea of getting caught in a rain storm does not sound like fun. I had a 1974 Triumph Spitfire 1500 in high school given to me by my oldest brother as a graduation present. With all the problems that thn car had, (leaky conv. top, engine issues) it was a blast to drive back then....I wish I still had it.
