Yeah the 6spd MT hit 298 but retains the same 260 +/- lbs of torque. They se this engine a lot and I have checked the owners forums, searched the TSB's and it seems to go the distance. No recalls either and most of the tsb items were simple things like how to stop something from rattling.
I should clos my eyes and pick one already. I slept like :q last night and had very lucid dreams about cars or working on cars etc... egads!

Man I need a vacation so bad right now. I hate shopping for starters and car dealers and not knowing and.... I found a few using autotrader last night and the vin I posted is for a black/black LSE wit Navi, Moonroof, Heated/Cooled seats and has 11k miles.
I tried like hell to buy a new car but just could not find exactally what wanted. Hell I tried harder to work with a Florida dealer; I guess the heat and humidity has made them all crazy.

I can't tell you how elated I am to have the opportunity to stay with this car. As mywife puts it... it isbetter tostay with the devil you know rather than go with the devil you don't know.
I just did not want to have to loose the bond I have here with you all and I sure as hell don't have the time to learn about another car. Buying my first LS was a snap compared to this deal.
I have not seen the car or met the dealer, I did not see my bank for the loan, I spoke with my insurance company over the phone so I did not meet a person for this transaction and I did not met the folks that are delivering my car.
As far as what mod.... hmmmm, I need to figure out what vanity plate I want to sport on my 6 o'clock first. I would like to see if the wood finish can be replaced with the aluminum one and of course I am curious about the PCM. I will keep the wheels for a while but I might shop for a full size spare if the trunk will still hold one. I will be looking for a copy of th chrome wheels installed now so I do not have roll down the road with a bo-bo wheel.

The LSE has the same HP to my knowledge it is simply an appearance package.

You are correct sir. It has an SAE of 280HP and 286 ft-lbs of torque. The pre-03 LS's were rated at 252 HP and 261 ft-lbs of torque.eL eS said:

g35 -- :gr_hail:
LS.... :Bang
If I had the choice to go back and chose between the LS and the G35 Coupe, I woulda went G35 all the way,
just check this out... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/358658 thats one of my favorites, so many endless possibilities... Put it this way you can always get the g35, if you dont like it sell, you'll have a descent re-sale value compared to the LS, you've already been the LS route, own one....
Why not experience something different... Just a thought, but then again it is completly up to you...
Tons of aftermarket parts for the g35

AutoTrader comes through again. Thats where mine came from. Makes sense to buy used with the large hit these cars take in the first year or so.
