mike,that is beautiful!any more piccies?inside and out. what sort of money does that stand you at? and what are the performance differences between the supersport and the turbo? i still dont know what makes a supersport anyway to be honest. :oops:

the reason i would like a turbo is for various reasons.
1.the widebody and spoiler(i know the supersport has these too)
2.ive always dreamed of a turbo version
3.all but 2 of my cars have been turbo'd :oops:

The Supersport has the turbo body, suspension, brakes etc, the only real difference is the engine and transmission, performance is slightly slower than the normal narrow body carerra due to the poorer aerodynamics and extra weight

As Lindsey says , the car is the same as the turbo , except the power unit which is 3.2 non-turbo ,some say they drive better as there is no lag from the turbo, but others say different , for my money this is the one to have , to get a real good clean one you are looking at 25k plus these days

Good luck in your search it wont be easy

Mike
