Don't get excited either way, doesn't mean anything. Could be something the plant threw togther as a test of something. However, with this car being where it is, it is the indication of the beginning. I really think it is amazing how far we've come, to those who it matters to.

I should make a blog entry about that...

BTW...you guys who like the stripes, you will be able to get them if you want.

Even the black "SS" seen at the Ring with the Brembo's had the V6 nose and mail slot. Doesn't seem to be a cooling issue for the larger front air dam.
