Nope, just a typical 96in Stroker like the rest of us. Gonna be boring with nothing to complain about. Guess you'll have to do like the rest of us that have this same "problem"...................DRESS IT UP WITH GO FAST STUFF!!!!

I rented an 07 in Hawaii last month and another 07 in Vegas last weekend and they both had the 5th gear whine and rocks in the can noises. I now see why people are complaining.

No noises in mine either. I really tried to hear a 5th gear whine but no such luck. Maybe I should put my hearing aids in...LOL. Won't know about the heat until we get some warm weather here!

The fifth gear whine lessens with miles, at least it did on mine, I used to like hearing it cause I knew i was in fifth. Now I have to down shift after I get to 6th and see teh little green light thingy come on. The sporty I could "feel" what gear I was in, not so on the king.

One more lemon I guess, absolutely no complaints - other than a little hot.
