The gas guzzler tax is 2600 for the automatic because the mpg is less than the manual and the drop in fuel economy puts it in the 2600 guzzler tax range, not 1300 as with the manual. That is the sole reason I didn't get auto, not paying more of a penalty than the option itself costs. And yes, I am very lazy, love putting any car in gear and just going

But yes, you have it right, but on the plus side, just put that top down and ENJOY! That pure joy (to me) makes up for the other minor items.
Where is the coupe governed to?

There is a GT500 Convertible, but I don't know if it's governed.

Limited to 155 on the vert, nothing mentioned on the GT500 coupe.

There is no governor on the GT500 coupe...other than physics!
