[QUOTE="Daffy, post: 5999464, member: 7210"] OK so I went to another dealer who had an 08 vert (looking for $10K over :shrug:) to see again if I could get more comfortable in the seat. I look at the car for about 1 minute & they ask if I want to take it for a test drive ... in my best Mike Myers impression - "exsqueeze me, baking powder, uh, yes please". 65 degree beautiful day, took it out with a brand new sales woman - I must look very trust worthy or something. I was respectful of the fact that this will be someone else's car but drove it enough to get a feel for it. Summary - Cons - it does "feel" heavy and little vague or floaty, but for a vert, not bad - uhh, that's about it for cons! Pros - - drove smooth, although a little heavy feel, it felt good, solid - power, traction in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is limited, the power feels great, and this thing needs better wheels and tires & yes, traction prob's IMHO are a Pro when it's caused by tons of power. - fun, it was a blast to drive, it really felt good with the power, fishing the tail out in 1st & 2nd was so predictable and controlled, this is a very fun car. - I experienced NO wheel hop in this vert, I even tried to generate it so I could see how it compared to my 03 Term, getting loose in 1st thru 3rd no wheel hop, all smooth, I was shocked, it was great. - AND, I was completely comfortable in the car, it just took so jockeying around with seat, but once I got it, it was fine, no issue. Bottomline, I'm now even more envious of you current owners. We can talk muscle & performance cars all day long & which is better for what - but this car is a perfect 10 in the fun to drive category, which is my #1 factor. Now ... to figure out my plan towards ownership this year.:rockon: [/QUOTE]
