^ I hear ya, but I'm not about to piss away $20K or so just to get 25 or so more hp. People around here seem to forget that car purchases are not permanent. I can buy the used Vette or Cayman S and drive it for 2-3 years and probably lose only $10K or so (edit...I don't consider a car depreciating $10K in 2-3 years "losing" $$$...I think such depreciation is proportionate to the use received, so not a "loss" in my mind). I will probably buy a used direct-injected 9X7 next time around, but I'm not willing to spend the $$$ now. Got other priorities.

Tell me about it! I like the '06 with a whopping 800 miles on it. Pretty much guaranteed that thing wasn't abused. They are tempting...

Edit: I answered my own question re. daytona sunset orange v. atomic orange. They are two different colors, with daytona sunset orange on '05 and '06 and atomic orange on '07+.
