Yes they are like chalk and cheese! lol!

The gear stick being there ia awesome! Its just in the right position to get your hand back on the wheel in a hurry! The quickshift on them is the fastest on any car I've driven. 2nd to 3rd is literally as quick as you can move your hand

They are about 200bhp (just under I think) and the book speed is 146mph, although I had mine just off 150 mph 15 mins after picking it up from Honda! It took a while to get there, and was revving at around 8k
