at an MSRP of $34k, i don't think so.

i would like the Bilstein suspension and possibly the MP3 stereo, but that's it.

the wheels are ugly (IMHO) and would be a nightmare to keep clean, not diggin' the red leather interior, keep the Nav, and the rest is nothing big - special floor mats, aluminum pedal covers.

i got my LGT for a little over $24k, added an MP3 stereo w/dual aux inputs, GPS Navigation, and some aluminum pedal covers. that leaves me over $9k to get suspension and 18" wheels and tires of my choice if i wanted. i added Cobb stage 1, Perrin foam filter, and Perrin lightened crank pully, and that still leaves over $8k for stage 2 bits, brakes and suspension over the cost of a Spec B.

for that much, they should at least have put some Brembos on it.

OK, I wsnt really paying attention to the price. I was drooling over the boxer-6/ 6-speed combo. I'd really like a B4 Blitzen.

Yeah the 6spd has a pretty big benifit, does any one know if it comes with a r180 rear end, i agree tho that it should come with at least brembos also tyo make the 34 K worth it.

The spec B looks nice, but I'd rather have the tuning potential of a 2.5L turbo engine over a 3.0L n/a...

24k? i thought those cars ran $32k... they are cheaper than i thought.

edit:
for that price though, i could have a really nice neon and we all know that it's fastAr.
