So far I have had to replace the right rear sway bar link and that was it.
The driver's seat is torn.
Above 70mph there is a vibration in the front end.
I love this car.
It is very fast once over 3500rpm and sounds great with removal of the air silencer cone, resonator and dual turbo mufflers.
I can't wait to modify this thing even more.
The interior is extremely comfortable and the stock CD player with the sub sounds fairly good.
I will agree with you on all your points except for one. It is 2006 and a great time to get rid of the factory sound system. Speaker technology has moved on. Head unit technology has moved on. I replaced my AM/FM/Cassette/CD with a new Panasonic AM/FM/CD/.mp3 in dash unit for $80.00 plus what I paid for hardware. The factory system struggles to rise above freeway noise at moderate speeds. In fact, a "sweet spot" must now be adjusted in using the old deck/drivers. At least that was the situation in my car. We won't even discuss subwoofers. Enjoy your SHO.
