Re: If you could order a brand new third gen, what would it be?

I'd disagree with that...

I'd order up another TTA. Bust off 11's and still get 29mpg with the A/C on. That's the best of both worlds.

Still miss mine :(

Custom for the most part. Spohn and a few other vendors sell driveshafts that you can order ready to go.

It doesn't add HP, it just frees up HP. Rule of thumb was 10lbs recipricating equaled 100lbs static. Plus the 1LE had a higher speed rating, IIRC.
