so according to that not all of our cars were actually assembled here in the states, both of my g2’s were made in Suzuka as well if this info is correct, i also went back and checked the Carfax thread from Jan. and pretty much everyone has the S for the 11th only a couple dont have it
if anyone else has something to add to that, that they know or found or whetever plz do
plz archive this
and i do agree with Neil on that algorithmic order thing, i read on here a while back that the GSR’s were not made in numerical order, i remember a couple guys had lower build dates but had higher vin#'s then some with lower vin#'s
