    Correct invoice price?

    Yes but there is only a 1500-to 2k mark up on this car, 500 over inv is a good price on any new model year, now if you wait 3 months then go try and buy an 07 speed 3 you should be able to get below invoice.

    Another RIP MS3

    First time out to the track tonight.

    People think those are stock times but it took Car and Driver like 32 trys before they got that 14.0 and I'm assuming that was with a profesional driver. Those time seem adequate for the modifications with an amatuer driver behind the wheel.

    Calling all MS3 sport owners
