The front Bridgestone G-GridII's used to get a workout.
The manual shift throw was really long in it ... but was fun to drive.
The KF Laser has a MUCH NICER manual shift/clutch action feel in it.

OK ... back on-topic ... I'll stop reminiscing now.
I love the engine in that generation Magna. They ran smooth and had a nice snarl to them. The Mitsubishi V6 at time was vastly superior to Holden's Ecotec V6 and the SOHC Falcon 6, and it had more torque than the 3.0 Toyota V6. Ford eventually got on the same page with the Barra but Holden never even got into the book full stop!
