    Don't worry, they had to do something to make a non-GT somewhat appealing...:yup:

    Where those Magnum wheels in the Sport Apperance package a stock 15"? His car has 15" Magnums with what looks to be a Mercury logo or the Ford Badge logo in the middle, But i hardly ever see 15" Magnum wheels.

    Im also curious is any of those pakages listed on the Marti report show that it would come with a Sport steering wheel?
