I drive mine year round in Vanc. Pulled the summer only Pirelli Pzeros on my BBP car and replaced them with Michelin AS3s. Legal, not much of a real snow tire but, exceptionally good in the wet out here.
It's really not that bad of a winter car as long as you respect the power it makes and what wheels are doing the work you're asking for.
I bought mine new at the very end of 2011, it's a bloat loaded premium '12 with red candy on. 36K pre-tax in the most expensive city in Canada. So about 40 OTD, which I thought was pretty good value for the performance offered.
Modern Billet makes a nice billet knob similar to the 401/Boss knob but a lot cheaper. I'd get at least a shifter bracket in there job #1. You don't needs subs on these cars. I'm in the 11s basically on a tire and very mild suspension upgrades to the controls arms and chassis stiffness isn't an issue. I used a Stiffler's loop because it was good quality and running a slick tire necessitates this.
