After 10 weeks of waiting, i am finally driving the V. and she is worth every pretty i am paying for her.

install the K&N Air Charger last night. and now i must get her to the shop and have the shifter and bushings installed. because that shift is very "sloppy" feeling. and along with the shift, all other parts will be intalled. i will be up loading pictures within the next week, along with a sound clip was the headers and exhaust are complete.

edit: btw...to the guys in DFW, i will be heading into town on Friday morning

Congrats! I bought my 2007 a couple months ago and have 0 regrets. The shifter isn't the best, but actually better than the one in my 06 GTO and love the absense of all that drivetrain clunk mine had since new There are a couple noises here and there on occasion, but so far, really enjoying this DD. So tempting to modify, but at the same time it's kind of nice having a stocker that performs so well and yet civil and very practical (for a car).

shifter isnt terrible by any stretch. just for a car with that much power, the shift feel is less then desirable. but i have the shifter and the bushing so hopefully that gives it a bit better feel. and once i do the clutch and flywheel, that should also help a lot too.
