1) Sick of all the back and forth nonsense about powerplants...and it seems pretty clear that all it will get is a very modest HP increase (which I can easily do to a GT);

2) It sounds like the cosmetic changes are going to be minimal;

3) Generally I like DHG, but in the few pics where I've seen it on the S197 body style I haven't found it flattering at all.

4) Ever since first seeing the GT in Redfire, I've loved the car in that color - every time I see one on the road, all polished up, I do a double-take;

5) I'm tired of waiting and all the options I wanted are finally here (like NAV) so I'm going to go for it now because this is the last year for Redfire.

Sounds like the redfire GT is a car you will like, so can't wait to see pics of it once you get it!

Wow, some of the best Redfire pics I've seen yet.

Thanks for the torture.

That's an implicitly ironic comment.

Where have you BEEN the past year...?
