Did I say manual trans? Brain gaseous expulsion. Auto. It was pretty smooth doing P+G, but there was more lag than in the rental Focus I used earlier this summer. I like the Focus more, overall.

I wouldn't mind renting a performance car for a day if I didn't have to travel too far - in fact, I did! I did a rental Shelby GT-H in SoCal last year, and that was a hell of a lot of fun. Especially on mountainous roads. ;-)

The G8/GXP/V8 Gran Prix in general looks like a lot of fun, kind of like the big "saloon" muscle cars they have down in Australia. It would be fun to try one one of these days, but until then I'll just watch Top Gear. ;-)
