Colton, Or? Good grief, the odds are... (just had dinner with friends on the river there tonight). pm me if you want to drive one of those- I've got a couple of Automatics in stock (Suburban in Sandy), but it'll tell you a bit about how they run out. Quite a bit different from the older 2V version.

Ernie, it'd be cool if you put your dealership's website in your sig so that we can all go see what you in stock!

~~~~~~~~~~

FWIW, OD in the auto will have you turning LESS RPMS than the 6-speed due to it having a 1:.71 ratio versus the 1:.72 in the ZF. Talk about a HUGE difference!!

sit down with ernie. you will love him as he is a total real pro saleperson..and the deal you are about to get though fte. how close are you to each other 5 or 10 miles. good luck .
barebones
i regeared mine to 4:56's from 4:10's as i was a jerk and didn't pay the 50 bones more thinking better mpg's with the taller gear . man was i dead wrong and fredvon 4 dead correct. i get better mpg's with the 56's then the 10's. it's hard to believe but it's dead on fact. rpm's at 70 are 2500. and man can this beast light up my tires now. 20 roll kick down and start them smoking.

The ads work! We're not pitching any car in particular- just us. A little humor goes a long way.
