Need some advice from the PH crowd.

Torn between a new Chevy SS and the Ford Focus RS. Either one would be the daily driver, log about 15,000 miles a year. Snow is part of the equation from mid November to mid March.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Decided on the poor mans M5 and went with the 6 speed manual. I'll be switching over to winter tires in a month or so.

The only giveaway that it is something special (aside from the throaty V8) are the Brembos!

No third pedal!

An SHO with a 5.0 litre V8 and six speed manual? Sign me up--after I've had fun with the SS!
