Wow, much fast than mine.

How did you wire up that satellite radio. Is there a aux port in the newer models?

niiiiiice. how often are you running 50/50 fuel?

Usually once a week, though it's getting quite expensive ($110+ for fill up). Definately makes a difference - but kinda a waste sitting in traffic. If you find yourself in Agoura Hills, stop by the 76 station off the 101 on Dorothy Dr. and try a few gallons. You might get hooked, especially if you've remapped ;-)

My model is an OG (an '04). I have a factory installed aux port (with filters removed for fuller sound - do a search!) in the glove box. I bought the car kit for the Stilletto Sat and use the aux port for sound. The antenna is a small magnetic disk I have attached just above the windshield on the driver side. The kit comes with a wireless remote, so it's handy-dandy

don't tempt me with a 76 station 1 minute from my house that has race gas, it could be disastrous for my wallet.

LMAO - I'm gonna have to drop in on ya! My favorite Thai place (Exotic Thai Bistro) is off Agoura Rd, in the Mann 8 complex. It's a great excuse to justify the drive to Agoura for me ;-)
