It is bare stock, the previous owner did no modifications that I have been able to find yet (which i'm happy about). It was owned by an older gentleman in Mississippi who decided he didn't want it anymore, god forbid why. The shipping companies had 3 weeks to find a truck and still didn't, so one plane ticket and a long drive later it got here. It has all the JCW options, big turbo and all! Still can't believe how fast it is. The only option it doesn't have that I know of is that there are no heated seats.

Nice.....I agree with you, getting a used one stock would be the way I would go as well. It's interesting about the speed of the car. 0-60 in 6 to 6.5 seconds(depending on who is driving it), is not blazing speed in today's world, but that does not speak to the quickness of the car around town-it really hustles....now on the track, I am going to go with bigger horsepower and rear wheel drive(there's nothing more fun that a controlled RWD slide on a track!), but as a street fighter, this car is simply fantastic.

Love the red-chili red, perhaps? I like my midnight black, but I'm secretly jealous of my wife's chili red paint on her CM...
