If your ever thinking of resale get the red one. I've got a couple of buddies in the car business and they call it "Re Sale Red".
I think a lady told me her Red lipstick said "look at Me" Could go for the red car, too!!

Blue is the new red, right?

I've always heard it was "Retail Red" as in sell for retail.

I had the chance to get one, that was easy. Telling my wife what Bryan and I had in mind was tough. Good luck.

Aside from resalability considerations you should take a long, hard, honest look at how you intend to use the car & compare that to the complexity of each package before you commit.

Part of that statement includes your potential desires to build-up or modify it down the road & what that might entail.

If you're more of a "screwdriver & timing light" guy but likely to want to tweak on it later, you should avoid anything that involves complex tuning requirements.

You should also consider how much work you want to do at the track for between-round prep.

If you don't mind extra steps for cooldown, etc. the supercharged car might be a good choice. If not, stick to the NA combination that satisfies where you fit in the paragraph above.

I have been to the build center many times and it is a very nice experience, they are true race car guys. While you are there, ask Rinke to show you his pure stock cars.

So........what did you decide?
