I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A STANDARD CAR...  [/QB] I didn't know that there was anything else. J/K. I used to say that I would never have a stick until I found out about the CSVT and now that I have one I would never go back to an automatic. I think you have more control over the vehicle w/a stick. What else can I say except for its awesome!! Oh yeah, I learned how to drive mine when I drove it home from picking it up in Kentucky! That was hard because not only did I not know how to drive it but I didn't know exactly where I was going either.

Only one problem with the car:
I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A STANDARD CAR... This isen't a problem at all, that's the whole fun of it, you have no idea what you've been missing out on all the years you've been driving an auto. I learned in literally 20 minutes, kept it in my neighborhood w/ dad in car for 20 minutes while learning basics, 20 minutes later I was on my way to my friends house accrossed town, easy to learn and LOADS of FUN!

i don't see anything wrong with using nitrous. it's not like a "fad" car mod that people just invented, like the big a$$ touring wings. it's been around for a while and is used by all types of enthusiasts, from hot roders, to euro tourers, to motorcycle fanatics. it's almost like saying "variable valve timing is for losers who cheat" or "VTEC engines suck". it's a valid use of technology just like most other engine mods, IMO.
i say go with the nitrous. trapps has a ridonkulous dual Venon kit in his trunk. the thing must freaking fly!

xtreme, better learn how to rev match the car, it'll be so much better when you do, it just makes it so much more fun. Good luck on getting the car and let us know how it goes.
P.S. the first i drove my svt all it did was buck like a horse. hehehe
