Welcome. I have a 96 and it's a great car, an upgrade from an '87. I bet the pilot was Rattlsnak, he's based in Atlanta. On the OT forum there's a thread on the flt 447 crash and all our pilots are posting there, might be interesting to see who it was.

The only issue with the 96+ cars is the endemic SAI problem. I presume GA is a smog state, if the SAI passages get clogged the car will throw a code and won't pass smog. Fixes range from moderate (flush) to gastly expensive (top end rebuild). There is a sticky on the top page to read more about this. It's not a 100% problem, and the 70-90% of people that are not having the problem don't post to let us know. But it is a challenge, you'll want to make sure that the drive cycle/readiness codes are set before you take possession of the car to ensure that they were not reset just prior to sale and have the light go on as you drive your first mile.
