well its not like its right there infront of ya but home.nycap.rr.com/netviper576/ I'll actually be out that way come July 16th on my way to Madison, WI for the SHO convention. If I'm not a part of the 10-15 car SHO caravan heading west on I80 perhaps I'll make a side trip. I'm always up for a...

gruss - back when I got my SHO in October in stock form I'd have to say the the 6s would be very close. The 6s feels like it has more down low, where a SHO doesn't begin to make any real power toi about 2800rpm. When I drove the 5speed 6s I was more impressed with its body tightness than...
