Tony, did you drive both transmissions? How were the gear ratios in both? Autoweek complained that the ratios were too wide and about having to down shift to catch it's torque curve. Any thoughts, thanks....  |

The FE3 had the Pilot Sport 2 tires, which I agree would have a big impact on handling. My V has the FE4 suspension, not FG2. They did a few other things to improve the balance, like moving the battery to the trunk.
The DI engine was in no way "harsh" or "granular" at high RPMs. In fact, it had a reedy exhaust note, almost like a Porsche.
There were no manual transmission cars there, just automatics.

Did they give you any word on why the V was a no-show? Or just, "it's not ready yet." |

The buzz on the street is that the big-ass crate race Hemi is going into the Challenger year 2. Should make it a contendah. |

They did absolutely confirm the coupe model is coming soon after the '08, probably as an early '09. |

Okay, I'll admit ahead of time that this is stupid.
I've been planning on buying an autopaddle/autostick whatever slusher 4-door 2009 CTS-V. Tell me why, now that I'm thinking 'coupe,' I'm thinking 'manual?' It should not make a difference, right? I've already got a manual transmission V. I'm still facing the same traffic with a daily driver. There's nothing (other than aesthetics) truly different between the coupe and sedan, right? So... why? |
