How about suggestions for the 1998 R package that could keep its price
at 
$1500 over base?

1. ABS
2. Stiffer Roll bars
3.No wing and spoilers/skirts.
4. Delete spare wheel
5. 15x7 wheels (i would have said 13x7 or 14x7, but there choice of
tires would be too limited).
6. Torsen LSD
7. Adjustable koni's.

I think that's my $1500 easily gone, despite the deletions from the current
R package. I spec'd no engine improvement assuming that would keep
the insurance companies quiet. The styling is fine with me, keep the lights
unless a substantial cost/weight reduction is possible
