My wife's cousin bought a brand new 6 speed manual convertible in Aug and he offered to let me drive it yesterday. I had an '88 LX 5.0, but that 5 liter was nothing like today's version of that engine. The new one feels like it's got about double the power of the old one...to say it scoots right along is an understatement. This car hits 100 pretty quickly. As much fun as this car is to drive, I just couldn't see spending $33K on what's basically nothing more than a toy...but apparently there are people who do...
