I loved this car and will miss it forever!
Preformance-Acceleration, top speed, handleing and breaking were FANTASTIC for a 4000lbp 3.8L V6 (I got it to 120 MPH)
Build Quality- I didnt have mutch luck as far a durrability gose with it, but thats simply because of the cars previous owner(s)
Apperience- In general, they looked fantasic but my car was a 10ft car, it looked great untill you got closer than 10ft away.
Cost of ownership- Great gas milage even driveing it hard.
Fun Factor- Two thumbs up!!!!!

Pros: VERY fun to drive, VERY fast, VERY nice

Cons: gets stuck in anything slicker than your average wet asfault

Out of a scale of 10, the Fun Factor to Drive is 12. The Accerlation of the car is great as long as you can drive a Stick. The Gas Mileage that I am getting in the city is about 12 mpg, and about 23 or 24 on the highway.

Pros: Really fun to drive.

Cons: Expensive to Repair.

good performance, has nice push back when you floor it. brakes are good, turns like a boat, don't even attempt to drive it in the snow. build is pretty good, only had to do a few minor repairs so far. love the appearance, inside and out, love how the lights flip up and down. MPG's aren't that bad, about 19 miles a gallon city. not alot of maintenance,just keep it clean and sparkly. LOVE to drive on warm days with the t-tops down. get alot of attention, and it hauls!

Pros: its fun for nice weather and showing off

Cons: bad in snow or on slick roads

I've driven this car for 2 years now and i tell you it still drives like the
day i got it.  It has the WS6 performance package so power and
handling is never an issue.  its always eager to spin the tires.  The
interior is great as well.  The Monsoon stereo is crystal clear and gives
off plenty of bump, especially when hooked up to the 10" Fosgate T2 i
have in the back.  Overall, i wouldn't trade this car for the world!

Pros: 11 years old, stock, and still faster than most cars today

Cons: Gas is beginning to become an issue now

the car seems to produce nice power, i have replaced the front sway bar end bushings with a trw set of eurothane parts there is a marked improvement in steerability already. there are however many things to learn and repair.
