Saw this in Des Moines this weekend. It was too hot to really study it at length, but the level of this build is amazing (and I realized that word is wayyy overused). Stunning is an understatement. I'm not much of a red car guy, but this shade flat works, and the accents are perfect... not too much, not too little. I don't think I have ever seen better fit & finish. And that motor?... it's presence is undeniable.
Well deserved top 10 pick. Not really sure why it wasn't chosen for "of the year" finalist. I'm thinking Columbus may change that. Good luck next week Chad!
