nice find numbers are a dissapointment but its still ok.the list price seems like it will be at 35 so after financing would be close to 40.so it will be slower then the previous model so it will have 3 choices of tranny .

I wouldn't be too worried about those numbers, IMHO the times suggest more power than they've quoted anyway :)

Because of this cars far superior chassis and handling, once some power upgrades are applied, it will definitely set a new benchmark in performance !

Let's just hope the SST is tuner friendly cause the critics are saying it won't be.

I think I'm pretty much dead set on the manual at this point. Since I'll be doing a lot of experimenting with my car, I'll need to have the ability to dictate what gear I'm in no matter what.

I'm already planning on dropping about 100lbs off of my car since I don't dig fat chicks.

I am concerned about the 67mph slalom though. That seems kinda weak. My STOCK mp3 was tested within 68-70mph in the slalom back in 2001 for $18K.

The backup tires, the wrench and new exhaust should do the job.

+ wheels and a battery.
