I am probably more like DT than I would normally admit, but when I press on the pedal of my silver GT and hear those sweet tones from the dual exhaust, I have an imagination like "Walter Mitty". Some of the pleasure of owning an automobile is how your ride makes you feel. I may not have a Saleen PT, but I feel just a little of that when I turn the engine over and hear the BTG exhaust come to life, or when I actually feel G-force from acceleration when I need it. With a small tweak of Eibachs the suspension is not bad at all, as long as the rear sway bar is added. My other cars are an old Mustang GT and Porsche 944, the PT doesn't miss a beat in comparrison.
The american public is fickle and what was exciting one day is tomarrows trash. I sincerely hope that Damilier Chrysler is able to sustain some interest in the Performance end of the PT.
