Thanks...it is a fun car to drive and has never even been back to the dealership since I bought it in 02.

Before Dave or someone else jumps in ...yes you give up a little on the interior...although really not that bad but it sure makes up for it elsewhere...decent jams...COLD air...looks decent...handles and brakes well and is quick enough to play with sportbikes if you care to. Oh yeah...it sounds awesome too...you first hear the whine of the blower and then it's drowned out with the roar of the Borla Stinger exhaust...high flo cats and full length headers.

How much power do you figure it is making? Did you lower the compression ratio at all to compensate for the blower?

I'm the one who usually fusses about the interior. Doesn't seem on par with what you pay for the total package.
However, I'd drive one any day and deal with it... the fun & performance really does make up for it.
