Apparently the controversy hasn't spread that far, as you still can't buy one for less than $5K over MSRP (although falling fast).
I mean, come on, 7:29 or 7:39 still make the car among the fastest production cars around the 'Ring. Who cares?
Tranny problems are overblown. Why is it that we don't hear about more and more trannies failing every week? If there are really 30+ failed trannies, that's about 2/week since volume shipments began. Why have we not heard of new cases in the month or so after the tranny news "broke?"
Perhaps because folks are no longer going out and doing 50 LC's in first 2000 miles? Perhaps because it was never a big problem in the first place?
