well, the shinka should have all the GT stuff plus the improved suspension parts.

I have an 05 with 32k miles right now. I paid 19k with 9k miles then. I think i paid just right because of the low mileage. Anyway, good luck with your shinka.

A lot of cars are sold as Shinka's that are actually just Black GT's.
A Shinka ( this 2005 was the first year) is Black Cherry in color. It should show up as a deep purple color especially at night under the lights. It had foam filled frame members. I believe it also came with Bilsein Shocks, rather than the oem tokico's.
Later year models were available in different special colors.
