Cruel is asking whether the needles and guages are in the middle of the car. Apparently, they aren't. Oh, Saturns and many many others don't make V4s. They are inline 4s.

I'm not trying to point out your ignorance about cars, it's ok. But now is a good time to get your terms straight if you're gonna ask questions about driving manuals on the web.

welcome, and good luck on your search for a mustang gt.I prefer the sn95 bodystyle which is the bodystyle that is in you avatar.One thing about stick shift stangs is that the shifter is really tough when compared to,say,a corolla or a civic.You have to ram it in there. One thing is for sure: your arm is going to be a a heck of a lot stronger. :D

i know i enjoy raming my stick... hehe :lol: 8) :lol: i couldn't help it, it was there calling for me... lol

Anywho, yea, if it has centre mounted cluster then it's an ION, if it didn't then it's an SL or S/C (depending on door counts)
