I plan on driving mine the same. I get so mad when some dummy is driving a sports car in front of me going less than the speed limit. I wonder why they even own a car like that.

The exhaust note is less throaty and it is slower, but it’s nearly as fun to drive—without the constant shifting in traffic snarls. And on the freeway, it returns nearly the same fuel economy at 28 mpg. Manuals get 29 mpg highway.
Since this is Popular Mechanics and not car guys, it does take something away from the review. I give auto mags like Car & Driver and Road & Track much more cred. Okay I'll say it, those PopMechanix guys are wimps.

Guess what, I was reading an article in Turbo Mag. about the Buick Grand National.
It came stock with, 235hp...
Sound familiar???
The automatic S/S is as potent as a GN was.
Can`t wait to get my hands on one...
