I disagree. E1's have 200hp, not 195hp, and they came with 215 tires, not 205s. Also, I'm 90% sure you could no longer get the blue interior in a t-red car once the E1 tan interior came out.




That is totally wrong. E1 = 98.5 (not 99-00). 1998-1998.5 all had 195 hp.

Also have 205s. I know this because my friend whos car I see every single day is a 98.5. It's not just the tires mounted on his car either. His sticker in the drivers side door says 205.
