That is a good opinion, but there's a problem: the red has NOTHING superior to the white one, except paint conditions, the windshield is fine, and the interior is a tiny bit better (cluster not cracked, speedometer works).
The white one has all the fun... Targa, manual, turbo 1G, 17" rims... but it's so much pricey! It's over 50% over the price of the red one. I'm thinking of going for the red one... I think I could put some rims on the red one, 7M-GTE with manual tranny, and then, only then, I'd be reaching the price of the white one... and I'd have a car with a better engine (I personally think 1G is not good for such a heavy car, engine displacement is too small for it), better paint, wouldnt have to change windshield.. and I could even recover some of the cash by selling the N/A 7M and the stock rims, so hell, it seems so much better to go with the red one right now. I would buy the white one if the mothe****** would lower that price. I saw them both yesterday again, the white one is not that slow with the 1G.. it has stock exhaust, I bet with a 3" it could gain some horses, and maybe a few other mods would make it move rather decently. Still, I just don't know.
And I too prefer manual tranny, all my cars so far have been manual
.. If I buy the red one I'd change the engine/tranny soon. Argh, such a tough choice.
