Looking at an '05 6 spd Limited
Looking at an '05 6 spd Limited
For a DD. Found a black 38 mile '05 Coupe at a local dealership and thinking about picking it up for a DD. Have a few questions first.
How good is the 6 spd?
How fun are they to drive?
Impressions of the car? What do you like? Dislike?
Thanks guys. Only asking 21K for it and it's never been titled. Must have been sitting in the showroom a LONG time.

I've never enjoyed driving more, in a life blessed with fun cars.
This German six-speed deal is the NUTS!
It doesn't snick with the feather touch of a Miata, but rather takes a firm, positive hand to place it in gear. Medium-heavy (but very forgiving) clutch, then a late-action throttle, as I haven't gone the sprint boost*route. Not a tire burner, since it's got five or nine computers forcing the components to behave themselves. Torquey, with a cool exhaust note at 4 grand.
The car is easy to drive well on day one, and it rewards the thoughtful driver with nuances of improvement over time.
A 9 out of ten , but superb in so many ways. There's nothing like it out there. And certainly nothing approaching its quality for $21k.
*The Sprint Boost is a gadget which, when installed, makes the gas pedal very touchy. Search threads on this forum for more info.

There are a few SRT6's reasonably priced on Ebay, may be worth the trip.
