Had a few hours with a Whiteout today at the dealer, seen in both sun and shade. It's an outstanding colour choice for the car, "upscales" the look noticeably.

For sure, bro. Their is something about Whiteout that I dig more than SWP.

I feel like a baby for complaining, because the car is absolutely beautiful, and I wouldn't change a thing. The s2k was a great car, but a little too small and gutless for my liking. We all know that a more potent package is on the way, and minor improvements in the next few years.

Im pretty sure Pekingduck has it backwards there.

I have had both Pro Kit and Sportline springs in my car and the Sportlines are the lower spring~

I'm sorry Bob, every time I read your responses I only hear these guys' voices:



And I only tease, so don't take me seriously.
