Let's see any small or even mid-sized SUV do THIS Picked up from Sears - Nordictrack's largest treadmill, a 350 lb 40 degree incline treadmill. Placed a sheet of plywood over the cargo section, slid the shipping pallet right over it, cinched it across the back. Only complaint is I did get some...

Not sure. We bought from local inventory and this was the only GT they had in red--we got a good deal on it even though I didn't want DVD. It works fine, although these are becoming relics since I am 100% Blu-Ray now. The mirror...not good! Homelink has to be pressed for over a second to work...

Thanks. I might try just the A-pillar as I'm trying to avoid getting too much into gutting the interior (though I have certainly done plenty of this in the past). I hear what you are saying about moving the noise from one place to another!

dieseldriver, what is the biggest bang/buck for starters on Dynamat for a 1-day project? I notice, oddly, that the most annoying noise seems to be coming from the windshield area (wipers?). I don't even consider this car very noisy until I get to my normal crusing speeds of > 70 mph. Would the...

Nice carpet!

If it is tuned for low rpm torque, I'd say they did a good job. Seems to pull much more strong than the numbers show. My real interest with the shared engine would be to leverage tuning experience/fitments from the 6 community.

I would love to know this too, been looking for this information.

Really good work, I look forward to your results!
