Damn, I can't wait to get mine someday. I've been wanting one since 2002! Don't ever sell your WS6 or the Cobra.

Just curious, what is the difference between the two cars when it comes to driving? I know the SVT will be quicker then a stock LS1 but im not talkina about that. Just overall driving dynamics, how is the SVT different?
