Oh... Here it says that on the sticker too... then you have to go to the "other" page...
"MARKET AVAILABILITY MARKUP" $20,000...

Oops, to the OP, those are very nice additions, I was drooling over the white 08 they had here all summer long. Congrats.

I was thinking about trading my 6 in after I get done with all the mods, start over from scratch.

I guess I am lucky. The GT500's I have seen on the internet in my area and on dealer lots have been going for sticker(don't worry, I talked to a salesman to make sure the price). If they are really that overpriced, you should buy one out of state if you want and save a lot of money. Or you could just throw forced induction on your 6 if you have a need for speed

Here you go. I didn't get an inside photo but it is black and grey leather. It was only 86 more bucks a year on my insurance than the V6. I am enjoying the loud exhaust and the better throttle response. So was anything else done to the engine in these cars other than the dress up stuff? I heard it is already lowered an 1" less from the factory. It also must have a suspension upgrade because it turns like nothing I have ever driven before. Id there a place where I can go and enter the VIN number to see what the care came with! Last but not least HEATED SEATS! I think the CAI is a K&B.

I went from 20" to 18"s lol. I am going to sell the 20" if you live near Cumberland MD.

Very nice. It's a little soon but... modding plans yet? lol. Lot of potential their with that car. Be careful with the new power you have.

How old are you? Because I am 19 and the insurance between an S197 GT and V6 was a bit more than $100~/yr it was closer to $500/yr more when I was looking. Performance wasn't my main task on buying a car or I would have got a new edge GT which was about the same insurance as my V6 but I wanted the S197 look more than power. I of course want more power now and a turbo will do just the trick once I can afford it .
