6speed -- only reason i dumped my CL-S is cause of the auto. Otherwise, the engine on that car is quite sweet, but far from optimized with that poor tranny.

What was wrong with the tranny? I've heard of "problems", what what did you experience?

My tranny didn't have any particular problems -- I just hated it. There was too much hesitation, the car always felt like it was in the wrong gear. combine that with an absurd gear ratio (both 4th + 5th gear are overdrive). I'm sure the car will do a lot better with the 6-speed, it just needs a good tranny to optimize that power. From the sounds of it (preliminary reports), the new close-ratio 6-speed is just what it needed. Ah, but I don't regret trading up for the Max, it's nice to try something new.

Oh, what colour? Black on black .. highly unoriginal I realize, but a classic in my mind. Mods? What are those?
