...and I have to say the 360-hp V8 is addictive. Didn't drive it for more than about 15 minutes (and before I bought one I think I'd rent one for a few days) but in my short time behind the wheel, I was impresses. Considering the price, there's a lot of car for the money, especially if you pick up a used one - I've seen very low mileage ones in the mid-twenties.
One other appealing factor is the ability to tune the car for very little money. I like the simplicity of the car and there are lots of easy upgrades available.
The only real drawback for me is the rear-wheel drive; the winters tend to be a bit harsh and even with snow tires, I imagine that car would be a little squirrelly in snow.
It's very, very tempting.
