Never saw the top end of his car, thank god _________________ The Dude Abides |

Almost completely stock, I have the original wheels and tires in my garage, but it's rocking Corvette Z06 wheels right now. They only made 2998 of these, has a turbocharged 4.3L V6, 35/65 F/R AWD, 4-wheel disc brakes. It has the classic cool factor of an old truck but leaps off the line like a sports car. Definitely a very different driving experience from my M3. I was 15 and just starting to drive when these came out and I've always wanted one. The value of these suckers is shooting up right now, especially clean, un-modded ones like this.
