At the end of the day, I think I paid a little more for two cars than I would have paid for a new SRT6 roadster back in 2005.
PS - I have an A6 2.7T with MT6 and just bought an A4 3.0 with MT6 for my daughter. I'm currently looking at a 2004 Crossfire coupe with manual for my son. My older daughter has my old 2002 Saturn VUE with the manual 5-speed. Does that tell you I'm a little biased?
yeah you are right man, turning that steering wheel, knowing when to brake, when to accellerate, how to judge how to head in and out of a curve and keeping the power under control is not driving. It is all about taking your hand and pushing that stick up or down.
