spicy. a few questions. when was 15.4 @ 89mph considered fast? the 'era' you talked about, the '50s, how did you experience them, seeing as you tell people they missed out on them. and for that much money why would you want to pay homage to the slushboxes of yesteryear? why not just go out and buy a car with that tranny? youd think theyd at least put a 5 or 6 speed auto in it. but no, ol' "cheveh" didnt have one in the parts bin. give me a corvette for the price of the ssr anyday. even if it does have bad interior (a trend in chevy cars)
