if you can..hold off, save up and wait for a used 07 it's even got a few improvements over the 06.. different gearing, etc.

So how's the torque steer with the 3.5 in there? I remember my Spec V had ridiculous torque steer.

not too bad actually.. the extra 50 pounds that the new motor gave eliminated the wheel hop.. and alot of the torque steer.

Nice. I'd be interested to see how it drove. The main reason I didn't like the spec v is because the torque steer.

LOL, well considering the price difference (8k) the torque steer and lack of top end are really my only complaints. It was a decent car for the price.
