I was down for the wagon, just for the lol factor. My wife didn't see the lol in a station wagon. I've been very happy with the car. The kids love it. Ill link the vid later if anyone wants to see my 4 year old telling me to do a burnout. The automatic in these cars is pretty good

And I'd commit genocide to have one of the manual wagons. Add some long tubes while ditiching the cats, add a tiny pully, and it seems 700hp is very easily attainable. IN A WAGON!!!

You're going to need more than that for 700hp...

 

If you plan to DD and drag it, I would seriously get the auto over the manul.

Buzz on here has a fair amount of mods on his, mine has a catback only---im contemplating a pulley, but love the car stock, so why? The auto is great. My gto was manual, and I daily'd it. Fun, but I wanted auto so my wife could drive it comfortably if I want to have a few when we go out

The wife is still racking up the miles on her 05. We had to have the rear replaced

and had IPS do the wheel hop kit at the same time. Also have had a new clutch, IIRC IPS put in a LS7 clutch package. Wife has no problems daily driving with the 3rd pedal.

I drove it from Ft Sam to Columbus straight through last January, was a plesant 22 hours, especialy in the hills :)

 

Complaints:

The trunk lid occasionaly closes at the most inopritune times (like when my head is under it)

Parking brake is weak
