Yeah, introduced at the 2003 SEMA show. Been on Rides as well (Chip Foose design).
I'll take it's numbers, can't be too bad with 340hp/300lb in a 3300lb RWD 6-spd sport sedan. That's a stock GS430 engine, tweek it up some and 400hp isn't too far away
Still a cool car in my book

That it is. I just see the work that was put into it, and IMO, it didn't equal the amount of work put into it ;-) Originally posted by scottd60:

That would be a sweet car to have!!! It sucks that they screwed up the paint job with that two tone crap, and this was a story about what like 6 months ago?
My Mazda 3 is awesome!
