i'm still extremely happy with my 04. But as far as the shifter being good, you obviously haven't driven a wide variety of stick cars i'm guessing. The gto's shifter is one of the worst i've ever dealt with. It's all rubber parts, so there's a really sloppy feel to it. And it hasn't really gotten any better with the 7000 miles i've put on my car since august. The 94 t56 with stock crap shifter in my iroc feels better.
It's funny that you said you took it easy on the car when you test drove it. I did the exact opposite. I test drove a yellow 6 speed car that just happened to not be parked in, and i was 100 ft out of the dealership with the salesman in the car when i romped on it. Then they let me take out the blue one i wound up buying an hour later without a salesman for about 45 minutes, so i had some fun with it too.
If you're seriously considering buying a car, you need to play with it. I drove the evo rs and the magnum rt the same way. Although there's a fine line between driving it and beating on it. I'd never dump the clutch or do a burnout or anything, so don't get me wrong.
