^ The LS was a good car. But it's engine was an all-aluminum variant of Jaguar's 4.0 V8. And it's a 3.9, not a 3.8. It has nothing in common w/ the SHO's 3.4 V8. And it was the previous SHO's that used the Yamaha-developed 3.0 V6, not the later third gen.....

The LS was a Jaguar S-Type...

Or was the S-Type just an LS?

THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW!

I think Yamaha had something to do with the development of the SHO 3.4L, but they didn't build the whole thing.

^ I'm not sure about that one. But I know they helped design and develop the 3.0 V6 found in the first two gen SHO's. Call me crazy, but I actually wouldn't mind having a manual 2nd gen....

I never driven the V6, but have driven the V8, and I was impressed. It revs high, and is very quick. Of course though, it doesn't have a stick or a manu-matic option. And you have to look out the the welds on the cam gear breaking.

I tested an LSV8 with the manual when I was car shopping and it was the balls. Way fun! But, RWD + snow + me = instant death for all involved.

Yeah, I was really surprised that the LS had a manual transmission available. It shifts nice, the clutch wasn't too heavy, and felt a lot like a BMW or Audi transmission. With that coupled to the V8 engine, it felt wonderful. I didn't drive it very hard (damn salesmen

) but it felt like it really wanted to run.

I think the only cars worth buying are Buicks their very reliable! what gained my respect for them was a Grand National Beating an AUDI S4 aniversary car i seen it on youtube. Chrysler is crap my car went bad with only 135,000 and ford well their okay. But i like Audi and Buick the same

fords suck. my family bought a ford and it broke after 80,000 miles and ford refused to fix it even tho it was under waranty. i have had a 1986 bmw(330i) and it has 280,000 miles on it. and it has its fair share of problems but it still runs. the ford was totalled
