It could also be the overall refinement of the car that detracts from the 'seat of the pants' feel. Or the TC...

I think some people took offense, assuming I was claiming my V6 was faster than the 2011 even though I dropped that car three weeks ago for a car I hadn't even driven yet. But, I do have alot of respect for this Milan I'm driving now, i thought I'd be miserable but its kinda of fun.

Well, the car felt mighty composed, you're in SoCal if you've ever been to the AutoClubSpeedway which is really close to my Dealer Sunrise, the road around that place is totally screwed like Wilshire Blvd in LA.

We should do a Grabber Blue auto vs stick drag race for TMS at the Speedway when our cars finally come.

From what I've read so far, it sounds like you should just keep the Milan.

Well, no I'm 28 and I loved my V6, when I lived in LA and only drove on the street I never found fault in it, when I moved and started commuting I felt the need for more top end. Thats why I test drove the 2010 but my last dyno did show 296rwtq, another reason why I expected to feel something more.
You guys just need to relax, I'm not GOD, my opinion on a 4mile test drive that left me still wanting the car but slightly unimpressed shouldn't rattle you up.

I used to live in a GM town and had lots of family that still give me flack for driving a Ford.
My family also used to drive GMs exclusively, until I got them driving Fords
It would take A LOT for me to even CONSIDER a GM product again...
but Mustang runs in the blood.
So yes, I'm waiting on a Mustang

LMFAO!
I actuallly liked the way the 2SS coupe felt----the shifting was nice-----the gearbox solid---and had PLENTY of low end grunt-----CAR HAS *****
Would never buy for 2 reasons
1. Im a ford guy till the day i die-----
2. The car feels like a yacht and has too many blind spots, that your almost scared to switch lanes without triple taking your look to make sure it is clear
3. Mullet would not look good on me-----
