Wow guys, thanks for the great response. I feel like such a noob since i dont know jack about these cars. Ive had quite a few turbo cars and a few m3's that did nicely at the track and the drag strip, but never anything quite like this.
I can tell the purist dont like the a/c question, and thats understandable, but TX heat at a stop light with side exhaust bouncing off other cars can get pretty toasty(Viper). My daily driver will be my trusty little nissan frontier, so its not like i have to drive this all the time. But id like to at least be able to take my g/f to the movies once in a while without hearing her ***** the entire way about the heat. The noise she will have to live w/
And im sorry about the question about depreciation/resale, but im only 26 and just bought my first house 2 years ago. It wont be easy to afford this as it is, but if i do get in over my head financially i need to be able to recouperate some of the money without completely loosing my ass.
