VERY notchy shifter, like you think you're going to break the shaft off!

They are really pretty nice driving cars aside from the overboosted steering. Handling is surprisingly good for a swing axle car too. The upsetting thing is there isn't much that the dealer stocks for them anymore. They had to build a driveshaft from scratch for it once. Nothing is cheap on that car.
