I want a turbo vert...probably one with a 5 speed that I shift with my right hand, though.

Definitely nice looking car but does not sure how much of this was factory built. I know all the 2nd gen's were turbo in Japan and the '88 vert in US did not have automatic available, but the mouldings were black not body color in US. Wheels, Body kit and the hood look like they were added, don't line up well.

we didnt get the turbo or the automatic in the vert because they get worse gas mileage

He painted the stock 88 moldings white, aftermarket front bumper on there as you can see, its a S5 bumper with the smooth molding built in, stock rear bumper, the hood looks like it might be open?



Thats some funky *** shifter handle on there as well. HUGE

That's what an 86-88 A/T shifter handle looks like.
