Took delivery of it today at about 2:00pm. I hadn't actually seen the colour before today, and man does it look awesome .. especially with the black stripe package. I meant to take some photos but my camera batteries were dead, so if I can pry myself out of the car long enough tomorrow, I'll upload some pics How does it go? Well I'm glad you asked!!! There is no real comparison. I'm still trying to keep the revs below 4000rpm, but even now it feels quicker than my XR6 Turbo (auto). I really don't know what the matter with the MOTOR mag guys are?? They say that they gearbox is notchy but as soon as you get used to it, the shifts just slot in with ease. Yes, it does have that dreaded driveline clunk but the sound that it plays makes up for that And as for being nose heavy ... I reckon that it handles better than my XR6 Turbo as well.Probably need a few more clicks under the belt to see what she is really like but so far I give it the big If anyone is in the market, I would recommend it without a doubt!
