I'm the owner of the 2LT/RS in the pics! Yes, the black stripes on the Transformers SS did look glossier than mine. If given the choice, I would rather have gloss black vs. flat black stripes. His SS did have a heavier feel to it. Wow - if it's tire ripping power you desire then the V8 is the way to go! There is a MAJOR clutch feel difference. The V8 clutch is very stiff/heavy and my V6 clutch is very light and forgiving. But after a few minutes, I was accustomed to the feel of the SS. Bottom line: I'd own one of each (V8 and V6) if I had the means just because they both have great performance for the price. Two thumbs up!
