    "Only when the road straightens out can a driver use all the throttle. When he does, the world goes all streaky and blurry 'round the edges as the tachometer slowly sweeps toward its rev limit just over 7,000 rpm."

    this is very accurate, scary as you start to fly past other cars and they disappear quickly in the rearview. This car is absolutely brutal in a sleeper package.

    Top down this is just a joy to drive, keep your Coupe, I'll sacrifice top end and some stiffness for the pure wonder of top down cruising, in a vehicle like this it's just amazing.

    The depreciation on these cars is absolutely staggering. You can (and I have) bought one of these for less than a third of it's sticker price just five years old. these cars are a STEAL at 30k, and at 13mpg...you need all the help you can get.
