Right on! From what I've been told, there were less than 700 '08 CS Verts in this color, and less than 300 came with 5 speed manuals, but I'm going to research the heck out of it before I can confirm any of those numbers. Either way, it should be somewhat collectable and maybe rare. I plan to keep it low mileage, and add a few goodies soon.

Ok so I was finally able to catch up on some researching and was able to find out that there indeed were only 700 Dark Candy Apple GT/CS verts made in '08, and of those 470 came with the Black/Dove interior and 230 with Black/Parchment, which mine has. So as of now my car is 1 of 230, but I'm not able to narrow it down any further, as far as how many were 5 speeds like mine, and how many were auto's, but I'm happy with the 1 of 230 for now.

I wish I could narrow it down further as far as manuals/autos as well as black roofs and beige roofs, but i cant find that info anywhere. Another fact I ran across that will blow your mind, is that in 2008 some GT/CS cars in the United States were actually offered with.....get this......HID headlights! Wow, can't believe this was an option in '08. Check out the option list on this certificate....

Well Ron at the GT/CS Registry was able to refine the results of my car just a little. Sooooo, it is 1 of 83 Dark Candy Apple Red CS convertibles with Black/Parchment interior and a 5 speed. Not too bad at all, but get this......when he put the entire options package in the data base, he discovered that my car is........wait for it..........1 of 1 Woooo Hooo.
