[Shotimes] SHOs are totally UNIQUE!!!!!!!

[Paul Nimz]

Not wanting to start an argument but a chip and your right arm will make
shifting the ATX Gen 3 quite an enjoyable experience.  I wouldn't trade my
'97 for any previous year SHO.  Well maybe a blue A1 condition '95 mtx......
Naw not even that.

> I second that opinion. Automatics have no soul. And for those who have
never driven a stick you are missing out. 95% of what I own has a manual
gear box. Nothing like turning the radio off opening the windows listening
to the rpms climb while not watching the gauges shifting by sound.Just
adding a stick to almost anything makes it a plesure it drive. I'd take a 5
speed anything over a automatic SHO. That's why there will never be a Gen 3
here unless I figure out a manual option for it.
