i have a friend that has one and he hates it. he's really unhappy with the quality of it.
02 Mustang GT... Tuned by Nelsons. Low 12's, anyone?

I went to the Nissan dealer yesterday - they were closed - but I still got a chance to look at the SE-R spec V up close... it looked pretty nice from the outside, the dash area had sort of a "cheap" look to it - but the seats looked prety comfortable. I'm going to head back on Monday and hope they are open so I can take it out for a spin. My friend that can get me the discount also is able to get NISMO goodies at cost... so that could be a fun car. That or maybe even an Altima 3.5SE depending on the deal my friend can get on that one...
I also took a closer look at the Mazda 3 and 6 - not a big fan of them after looking them over more closely... the RX-8 on the other hand - NICE! The dealer I went to also had a Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo miata... that would be fuN!
I'm definitely considering the Crossfire now too after taking a closer look at those, and hearing about the low lease rates - just thinking about having to pay for 19" tires to replace the rears and 18" for the front! Thats gonna be expensive!

That was going to be my suggestion. The 1.8T can be very fast with few mods.

Didn't even think about that.
