Sadly I'm selling my 2006 Copper Red Shinka (6MT). I bought the car when it was only a year old with 13k miles on it. The car has been garaged since I purchased, been maintained by me, and has been cleaned and waxed regularly.

The Shinka package includes sand colored leather and Alcantara seats (heated) with piano black trim. It also includes a limited slip differential and the Bose sound system.

The car is completely stock. The only addition I've made is an auxiliary audio input to the stock stereo system.

Brakes only have 5k miles on them. Tires are Bridgestone RE01R, and are super sticky on dry pavement, but don't have much tread left on them.

Engine runs great and pulls hard all the way to red line.

Local pickup only. No trade offers please.

There is no GT Shinka, the Shinka is a package in itself. The only options were appearance packages and NAV AFAIK.

Like 9krpmrx8 said, Shinka is a package, a special edition version. I remember reading that only 1500 Copper Reds were sold in the US. I have yet to see another one in person after owning the car for 9 years.

There were 1500 Shinka's total in the U.S. for 2006, in 4 colors. The least of the 4 was the Copper Red, which was also the only Shinka specific color for 2006.
They were Brilliant Black, Galaxy Grey, White Water Pearl, and Copper Red (AFAIK). BB, GG, and WWP were also available on non-Shinka models, Copper Red was not.

It's also the only color red I've ever liked on a car >.>

Beautiful Shinka. Were I in the market for an 8, I'd be very interested.
