Obviously an AT. Wanted a manual, but couldn't get my hands on one in my area. Couple of dealerships listed them, but they were all called for. Have to say the AT is growing on me though. I value the auto with the 80 miles I drive everyday. I like the manual paddles the other 5 miles in off highway I drive. The paddle shifters are way better than other vehicles I have had. Clean shifting, NO hesitation at all. I also operate in snow country in Upstate NY. So the snow traction control has already proven its worth. That's something the MT doesn't have. I'm going to drive it this winter and see how it does rather than drive the rat.


I bought this on 12/1. I didn't order ahead and thought I was screwed. I was talking to dealers within 200 miles and couldn't get my hands on one. Fantastically my local dealer took delivery of (the only) one they preordered and called me literally when it came off the truck. They prepped the car, I drove it (no one else got the chance) and I happily paid for it on the spot. I took it home the next day after they peeled off the stickers and got it rust proofed for me.


Already have the local speed shop drooling over it. They want to drop an Jackson HP supercharger in it for me. Its gonna cost $6500 installed though (5k for the junk and 1.0 to 1.5k for the labor tops). Worried about breaking the car with it though now (I got a lead foot). I won't install it until spring though either way (interested in opinions on it). I'll have to search the other forums to see longer term outcomes on super installs before I pull the trigger.
