and ATTS is the Active Torque Transfer System that elctronically controls the power output to the outter wheel during turns (just thought i'd elaborate a little, b/c i am bored )

The SH also weighs in a little heavier.

so your telling me a stock sh does the quarter in high 13 range. Uh no my friend with a base 5 speed hit high 14 stock. If anything there slower in a straight quarter because they weigh more than base. Now they do have advantages for auto x, turning, etc.. But all ludes handle well to so.

This guy isnt soo dumb and doesnt believe everything he reads.
Yes the SH is slower but it does handle better. Even though the oil filter is in a messed up hard to get to place.

SH weighs about 90 lbs heavier than the base model, due to its ATTS electronic differential. SH also has body color lower skirts all way around the car, plus leather shift ****, leather parking brake handle and courtesy lights on inside of doors (base's are only reflectors).

Besides these cosmetic and obvious mechanical differences, the SH's cam profile is a little bit aggressive. That explains why the SH's performance to quarter-mile is about the same speed as the base 5-speed while ths SH weighs heavier.
