Yeah there was still snow here when I shipped it over. Cost was about $1,000 each way.





DozJr7-
So far I love it, no issues to speak of after over 2,000 miles of driving.



SlideWays314-
Ehh I like it, paddles are really fun. Doing the clutch packs in addition to the listed mods when it goes back to GTM so the tranny will perform just fine.

The wheels were spendy but I was lucky enough to have help from the area Les Schwab as a sponsor on them.
