I have had both cars, the black NA six speed from new and I put about 22,000 miles on it in six years. I had no trouble with the car and it was a garage queen. I liked it a lot.

A year ago I got the Aero Blue SRT, third owner, I missed the old NA for a while. Now I would not go back, I had to get new tyres as they were worn and noisy and fitted Koni adjustable shocks as the standard ride was too harsh for my old bones. The drive back from Florida (1,400 miles non stop) nearly killed me at times. It came with the Needswings CAI as well as the OEM intake, the OEM intake looks good but the CAI lets you hear the SC much more and I like that.

It is just as easy to ride around town in, on the highway it can fly. Only when you stab at the pedal do you see the difference between the two versions. I have not had it too long so I have no idea if it will cost more to upkeep. Gas mileage is probably 2/3 - 3/4 of the NA usage, you have to pay to play. Laying of the gas will make it better though, that's the tough part.

I liked the black paint, nothing like it when it was washed and polished, the Aero Blue is a treat, it takes a while for the dust to be seen.
