Went to the dealer and test drove the new pony's. If you haven't done this DO IT. I went from 30 to 100 like nothing. This thing really wants to move and I was even driving the auto vert California Special. You will want one as soon as you get out. :headbang:

I always compare it this way, the S197s are a more "refined" new age sports car that is fun to drive and fast, but lacks the "Raw" and mechanical feel that SN95s and foxes have. S197s have a ton of electric things on it and of course, a hydraulic clutch. A heads up 94droptop, my HCI 94 feels quite a bit faster than my brothers 08' GT/CS, but his is more comfortable to live with everyday :p.

You do realize the one I test drove is the 5.0 with 400hp right? Not the punk 4.6. I will agree that it did lack the raw power feel that my 94 has. But would love to have it.

I want to drive the GT but I also really want to try out the new V6 with a manual trans.

6grand? Jeez, why so much? People do HCI swaps on 5.0s all day for a few hundred.

If you spend only a few hundred on a decent HCI swap then either you did it wrong, you have hookups, or well you just are REALLY good on your knees....
