This is about the hardest I have laughed ALL DAY!!! ROFL!!!!

You should add - "Do not look at end product of this experiment. Please be ready to shoot yourself on completion of this test".

The Bottom Line___
The AT is fast enough to go to jail. You will beat up on just about everything that is not a low torque, V8 or turbo/supercharged sports car.

The MT is faster. A driving purist would consider nothing else.

If you are worried about 0-60s...get a Viper.

Lastly, ask you self what enviorment you are getting this car for. I love my AT because I sit in traffic two hours a day.

Good luck!

Glad you enjoyed. I get a little punchy when I can't sleep. It took forever to find the right graphic.

Yes its amazing what lack of sleep will do to you. I wonder if we had chat rooms on this website, what it would be like in the nights, but then again its nice to do all communications over the forums.... just realized I'm babbling... sleepy time...or maybe not.

I recommend getting highly drunk! :D Works for me....Just make sure you take lots of water before getting into bed, if you're coherent enough to do so. Helps in the morning as you know.
