I still think the 3GS is very good looking even in stock trim . I see them sometimes and wonder if my mods give me the best the car has to offer. I then remember how good she looks and then say the hell with it. I think a huge loss of the ride comfort actually comes from the 42-44 psi in the damn tire.

have you tried lowering the psi a bit? mine is at 37 i think, my ride is so smooth, i would give some of the smoothness up to have it sit lower though. i think if i had rwd it wouldnt bug me as much, but i just hate how tall my car is. I think that is my only complaint with the car, yeah its slow, but whatever. no it doesnt play mp3s, which is annoying, but im over it.

I am thinking about getting crazy and bringing the pressure down to 36 or 37. I want the car to ride a little bit less harsh. Man I am getting old

I just wanted to say that I finally picked up my car and I am blown away at how nice the car is to drive now with the cabin totally silent. Its amazing. I forgot how quiet these cars are and I am very happy with my decision to go the luxury route. You don't realize how noisy the exhaust is until you remove it. I guess its kind of like a person who gets a new set of glasses or contacts. You didn't realize how bad your vision was until you got it corrected.

I promise you will be the guy I will sell it to. I am pretty sure I dont want it anymore. Let me drive the car for 1 week and then I will let you know. I was contacted by another member for the exhaust as well and I told him that I was going to be selling it to you
