I will nock to birds with one stone 1st the fuel return system w/ dual fuel pumps are in the battery bay. 2nd the car started out as my wifes car before we were married as soon as I put that ring on her finger the car was mine and thats true story. But turns out its not a bad package after all with the proper components in as well as in manuel mode you can shift a whole faster than a driver could and with less room for error. But yes we do see your point and if we can't make it work which I seriously doubt than you might see a 6 speed in this beast. What no comments on the torque...
Horsepower: 535.0 whp


Torque: 607 ft/lbs

this is the car? it says its an 06... I have an 06 and that's not an 06. just look at the headlights... what would make someone lie about the year model? makes me question every other claim.

The first thing that entered my mind when I saw it was if you wanted a porsche so bad why didnt you buy one, that front end is fugly.

Second if it was your wifes car you should have let her keep it or trade it in for a manual.

Either way I'd still love to have 500 ponies on tap.

all the hate on an AT... that car will tear it up im sure... regardless of AT or MT...

second note... any moron can drive a manual... there isnt anything special about it... most ppl's grandmas drove a manual... Just cuz they choose to do a AT car doesnt mean that the driver cant do MT he might just want smooth shifts

My hp and torque numbers are due to pproper engine building, a truely professional tuned HKS V-pro, and an automatic transmission Hahahahah
You guys can say its ugly and it looks like a want abe prosche. Thats ok because when it comes down to it I to call her a poor mans prosche. But I will bet serious money you could'nt hang with her and that she would jump at least a car and half on the launch.
