Got a call from the dealership I bought the red dragon from, they were offering a $50 dinner at a good restraunt in town just for going in and test driving a new car. So I thought what the hell, Id like to finally get a feel for the 05+ GTs.
So, here it is:

This was 1 of only 3 manuals they had and it was the easiest to get out of the lot. Ive gotta say it felt pretty peppy being bone stock, but I didnt like the shifter location/feel or clutch pedal feel. (maybe its just bc Im so used to my 02) You can definitely tell its not based off the Fox chasis anymore, its got a lot better overall feel, NO rattles or sqeaks (which is to be expected from a new car) like ours are notorious for. Im still not sold on the styling though, and I felt a little more cramped in the drivers seat than I do in my 02. Overall the 06 felt real sturdy and solid, and would probably keep up with me in the 1/4 for the most part but I think with my mods my 02 would take it by a tenth or two, driver being the same and all.
And heres something I saw while sitting in traffic:
Now, I dont know much about M3s, but Im pretty sure a running pony badge isnt a standard styling cue
