>>getting a sports car with automatic is NUTS...

>Well... (shrug) if you're simply getting the sportscar for its looks rather than performance aspect... then having automatic doesn't seem to be too much of a contradiction -- though it'll be hard to avoid jeers from sportscar enthusiasts.
As I've written in this thread, enhanced cars like BMW M, Audi RS and so on are able to reach ridicolous speed
on our Autobahn and a track - no need for a sports car. But for me the sports car is more defined by direct handling,
closer contact to the road and car and a certain minimalism - which excludes full automatic.
>A few years ago, a friend of mine went to dealership and specced out a car (a Grand Marquis to be exact). He'd specified various options by catalogue number -- to which the dealer responded "but those parts aren't listed" -- to which my friend told the dealer to look at the *full* catalogue. After a few moments while the dealer looked up the info, "oh, I see... You want a cop car".
did he get it ?
