I just got back from Newport European. Dana, a salesman there, told me that their Starlight Black "Demo" is for sale at $67,000.00! Other than that depressing point, seeing the car in person has certainly recharged me for the remaining wait. The stage 2 exhaust sounds and looks incredible. It definitely looks more integrated with the diffuser than the stock exhaust and Newport European seems to have done an excellent job with installation. Dana also said that the stage 2 exhaust costs about $1500, takes 4-5 hours for the install, and adds about 5 HP to total output. I seem to recall reading a thread somewhere that stated none of the exhausts add additional HP, but rather any performance gain is through a reduction in weight? Also, I noticed the starshield on the car has a number of bubbles in it. I would've taken pictures for you guys, but my buddy is borrowing my digital camera. I know pictures have already been posted of their Starlight Black Demo, but I figure you guys can never get enough. I'll try to get some pictures and a recording of the exhaust note soon.
