Purchased car new.
Base GT 6spd manual with cloth seats. Only options ordered were 3.55 ratio and spoiler delete. (ratio is perfect for street driving)
After 3000kms no issues. Added Borla Stype catback. Stock exhaust is really quiet.

the 5.0L v8 has plenty of power. Although the stock suspension is not very confident when pushing the car to its limits. I highly recommend upgrading to the performance package. Brakes are great for the street car has enough stopping power.

Stock tires are also an issue. I upgraded to the performance pack tires/rims(Added later) which helped quite a bit for launching with less wheel spin.
