I got my PP for $27k. I think the TS lists for $33k or so. I did add headers, OFT, RCE yellows, and MPSS tires to create a better overall, balanced car but that only set me back $2900 or so. Well...

If I start the car and let it idle it stays around 14v, however, if I rev the car the voltage will drop to 12V and hold for a while. The AC is on as well btw and its 100 degrees outside.
