Well we finally got a break in the weather this afternoon. It went to 29 C (80 F) this afternoon and the sun came out. Beautiful. I got in my car put the windows down and opened the sunroof and hit the road for some fun driving. After having the car for four days I am loving it more every time I get in it. My last vehicle was a F150 Harley Davidson Edition which is Supercharged and has 340 HP. It was very quick but you can not through it in a corner all that well. The LS V6 does not have of the line power but it handles amazingly and once I am going the power is there. Having the Select Shift helps as well. It is a lot of fun to drive. :)

I've got the 2003 v6 base model. Didn't need all the extra options, but I know that feeling. Taking a tight turn at 50, it's amazing how this car handles. How do you like the select-shift? I have the standard auto on mine.

Looks like we have almost identical interiors. I have wanted a car with SelectShift for a while so I am having fun with it at the moment. It may wear off over time, not sure.

There is nothing wrong with the V8. Personally I choose the V6 to get better gas mileage, because of the current prices. I would of course like to have the extra power. :p

Nothing. Some would argue that it is a heavier motor than the 6 so it affects balance and cornering. The older 6's with a manual transmission (sadly no longer offered) were just about as quick as the 8 with auto.
Now if the 8 was offered with a manual tranny... :eek: :Beer

Yah, I don't see any time slips from the V-6 manual owners. The V-8 was under rated by the publications. I think the manual was definately cool, but to say it is just as quik is a stretch. A V-8 manual would have been nice.

I may. Can it be about LS owners hating there own cars on a LS board, and how much it is completely annoying to us who don't have all the problems they have. It may be time for that.

I'm rather amused by it.
