I'm just getting caught up with this thread. Regarding how easy it is to by-pass the skip-shift feature on GMs, I don't mind if you Pontiac guys want to flame me for not knowing how easy it is to bypass the thing. Because this actually goes to support the point I was trying to make, which is that magazines can unduly influence a person's purchasing decision by publishing half-baked information. Be it by printing a picture of a pre-prod gauge cluster, or by making a huge deal out of something that is easily bypassed (and not telling readers that it's simple to bypass), these magazine writers do us all a disservice. We need to take what we read in these car mags with a grain of salt -- myself included -- that's all I'm trying to say.
