Default New with a question

I picked up a 2006 track edition about a month ago, and wanted to see if anyone on here recognized the car. I'm curious as to what all has been done to it besides the obvious, and if anyone might have a little history on it. Only mods I can tell that are on it is an intake, lowering springs, and most likely an upgraded plenum gasket. Also the body kit, obviously. I got it at X Motorsports in Villa Park.






Only thing I've done so far is swap out the factory stereo for a touch screen dvd/bluetooth deck.

Thanks! I had been wanting something that gets decent gas mileage because I've got a long drive to work each day. I figured this would be a nice mix of sporty, fun to drive, and economical until it's warm enough to ride my bike. So far I'm getting around 30 mpg on the back country roads, so I'm plenty happy. As far as any mods, I'm not planning on going crazy with it. I'll probably just do coilovers in the near future. The goal of the car is to stay economical, so I'll be only considering power adders that don't significantly hurt that.

Yeah, I cruise at around 50-55mph in 6th gear. I've done as well as 31.7. Overall on a full tank, I'll get around 500 miles because of some city driving mixed in.

I've had quite a few people already come up to me and make comments that it bears a similarity to a Porsche.
