Well! Test drove my contracted #15719, NBP/Ebony, 6MT, Navi. Felt the torque steer only once starting at the stop light and am fine by that. Test drove it for 16 miles in the city and on freeway. Did not hear any rattles, neither did feel any vibrations at 50-55. While test-driving and stopped at light got an appreciation from a Mustang driver.

Made a decision that this needs to be grabbed since couple of guys were anxiously waiting for me to turn it down and jump on it. Even the sales people wanted to test drive it. Did try to get a price break but to no avail. Got some goodies worth $400 for free though. Bought the Service Care Pack for $1895 for 7yrs/ 100K which is refundable for unused part. Passed on the color care (waiting for my Zaino car show kit) and the alarm. Do I need an alarm? I thought the one built in security system is good enough for my neighborhood.

Getting delivery this morning and will have to get it back to the service to put the mud flaps on since they are busy today. Anyway will post pic in my gallery once Zainoed. Damn! Got to buy those cotton towels today.

Thanks,

joganjani, Congrats on your new 6MT. Judging from your VIN and when yours came in, I may have a few days before my 6MT (VIN 17984) is here. Did you get the HPT tires? If so how noisy are they?

Yes please post pics! The Zainoed NBP is awsome.

Note to self :Cotton towels, cotton towels

lakeman,

Thanks. Yes! I did buy HPT. They are not noisy but I may be wrong since it's been a while since I test drove the auto TL with regular tires to note the difference. Compared to my 95 Integra, even the train would feel silent to me (no offense inteded to Integra drivers but lack of full window bracket cannot keep all the sound out). But the feel of the grip on tar is noticeable and I liked it compared to all of my driving history. Cannot wait to get it out of the dealership.
