It is a harder ride, compared to my previous 2000 GT...but I don't find it too harsh.

They are *way* off in those comments about the auto vs tapshift. In auto, it's no slouch...powerful and all. But when I drop it into Manual...it's like a different car in my opinion. Real jumpy off the line and you don't have to really jam on the throttle to get the response either like you do in auto or in previous gens of GPs (stock).

I have zero complaints so far and I've had mine for almost a month now. I hit 1,000km on it so the initial brake in is done, christened it with it's first kill 2 days ago...a Lexus GS 300 that wanted a piece of me, all he got was a look and from WAY behind at that.

I'm real happy with it.
