Yeah, the G6E Turbo's are awsome, but as you say, the standard 6 lacks power. The G6E Turbo's at work will wheel spin both rears through 1st, 2nd and into 3rd gear! haha You didn't hear that from me though ;) bahaha

I dunno, I'd be torn between a manual and an auto. As you say, the new auto's are a damn sight better than the old stuff, but I love the mechanical feeling of shifting the gears yourself haha
