I have a GTP with the L67 supercharged motor. Great car, super fast for a 4 door. I haven't modded it though, thinking about trading it for an RX-8.

I absolutely love my Rx8. Great car, and tons of fun. My only real complaint is the obvious bad gas mileage. I actually had to spend about eleven hours in it yesterday, and the comfort was good the entire time. It isn't the quickest car in the world, either, but it has enough speed to be fun for sure.
