Absolutely sick steering wheel and dash gauges!!!

Wow, that thing sounds beautiful! And a 9k redline!?!? Whaaaaa?

The cockpit is pretty humorous after looking at the FT-86's for a bit now. Its so computerized, with screens and options, and programs. Perfect for the middle-aged man with too much dough in his pocket to spend on.
