Is that the track model with the racing suspension and hids included?

I went to my dealership and they dont have it yet, but they were offering me $26K. They told they could bring it down a bit though. Maybe $25K?

The track package stickers here in Illinois with delivery charge for about $27,000.00. Gartner gave us a GREAT deal on one though so I really recommend that people check them out first.

i am most concerned with getting this car to under 2700 lbs and totally driveable. unless they hid a TONS of weight ballasts around the car i don't think that is going to be easy which is a shame cause then i would consider it a replacement for the 240sx/silvias. i know as the simple things like battery, intercoolers, exhaust, suspension and wheels and tires swap out you guys will weigh them so i guess time will tell

Ivan's weight was with the track wheels and they were over 50lbs with tires!!! just swapping to lightweight wheels will shed a good chunk of weight.

I will be spraying the new front emblem with Nite Shade again but the rear badge is going to get painted the same color as the car (Nordschleife Gray). I think this will look more subtle than the Nite Shade on the rear.

Would Nite Shade give the black chrome look to the IX's stock front/rear badges? I definitely want them darker but not quite black. I still want some shine to be there.

it should, The reason we tried this is that Santiago suggested I try it on our AMS chrome badges for my BMW. Came out great so we told Ivan to do it as well

just go light on it for the best black chrome finish

I'm so curious about these car with mods and dealer warranties..... I kinda want one.. It didn't bother me in the EVO like the rest of us, but a 100k mile warranty(i think that's what there warranty is) modded car would be so sick. looks like simple bolt ons will remove a lot of restrictions plus some tuning should be sick.. What kind of turbo is it?
