Thanks for the comps! I was originally going to wait until after I got back, but the wifes car(subaru) is on the downhill side of its life, so we were in the market for a car anyhow. And we wanted something with a warranty for while I am gone, In case the Truck takes a grumpy. So even though I didn't get a gret deal, even after a week, I have NO REGRETS!!, and would do it again.
Initial observations..... Yellow wasn't my first color choice, but it was the only one they had, at a dealer willing to sell at MSRP. Same goes for the Auto. However, They have both grown on me. That Automatic really is amazing. I love turning down the radio, flooring it from a stop and listening to the perfect harmony of the exhaust note, engine noise and tranny working together in perfect harmony. . Some have grubled about the interior , personally, I love it. A lot. It is simple and uncluttered. I was looking at my friends new Accord, and that thing has about 50 different knobs buttons and switches in the center console. The car has god power, but it is never enough. Especially with this outstanding new chassis. The power is soooo much better harnessed that it feels less than it actually is.
Grumblings Still got that stinkin antenna on the rt front fender. Make that thing go away already. And still sits too high. The V6 can sit high, but come on now, give the GT the stance it so deserves!! That's about it though.
Hey, good purchase. I just picked up my Sonic Blue on the 23rd. Traded in my 04 and I really love the difference.
I'll be packing sand myself in a few months.
Glad to see a fellow tweaker on these boards.
I wonder what the hood looks like from inside the car itself. Can you visibly see the 'function' of the hood in any way? The reason I'm asking is because I used to have an '80 Z28 that had some kind of flaps that opened up for air or something on kicking it in. It may not have been that big of a deal, but at the time, it seemed pretty cool.
Btw, Capri, thanks for posting a pic of your car. It would be nice to see more! I'm usually a 'red sports car' guy, but screamin yellow is really looking good to me, man! I may have to go with that color....
