It did have a decent ride though, just a little better than the crossfire, IMO. The engine was interesting. Around town and below 4k rpms, it was rather weak. The crossfire has more pep around town. However, I did a 2nd gear romp up to 6k rpms and so after 4k rpms, the car really took off. It felt great and sounded exotic. More like an NSX and less like a camry. All in all, around town the car was ok. I was definitely not in love with it after the drive. But I suspect driving the car in an environoment where I could really push it would likely really wake the car up.
Lucky guy!! Thanks for the test drive and review...not many people will be able to experience this, I'm sure!
