    So if you had to choose a 2014/15 Pete 386 or 579 with the same isx15, 13spd, and 3.42 rears, which would you go with?

    I like both but do like the 579 interior better, better ergonomics.. the 386 is really comfortable to drive but whoever thought about only putting one cup holder in petes besides the 579 deserves a growing punch

    They do come with two cup holders in between the seats if they are ordered with that option plus the one standard holder.

    386 all day long for me still setup like a 389 except for the hood.579's look funny to me plus where the cb bracket is sucks I prefer a full mirror so I can mount my antenna on it.
