Haha indeed, I drove my brothers 3.6r around SF today...about 30miles total around sf streets and I must say id rather have it than mine around city streets with a few changes..
The 5spdAT shifts quickly 1-2-3 in auto I'm assuming to get mpg so its slow that way and it downshifts slow to accelerate, but with the manual mode/paddle shifters its got way better low end torque than my car...with a stick shift this car would leave my wrx in the dust...sucks there's no MT...I really recommend a 3.6 its badass haha
Must say I almost prefer the flat6 sound to the turbo flat4 haha sounds like a euro car haha
Suspension is too soft and the oem tires are garbage but the car has a lot of potenial to upgrade...I followed a new audi s4 around a few corners in the upper market area and had no problems keepin up haha...just too soft with 225/50/17 passenger tires and stock suspension

.. I really really like the GT but they are more pricey and RARE!! Rims,tires,sways,and springs are on the lists for whatever I get.
