However, 2nd gear start only works with electronic transmissions, so the only w-bodies it would be optional on are all 3.4 DOHC motors, and '93 & up on everything else.

Was wondering about this. My 96 gp 3.4 is equipped with it. Never saw this before with any vehicle I owned. So I just switch this on in bad weather and It lock's it to 2nd gear for the take off instead of first which causes alot of wheel spin. Interesting. Learn something new every day. By the way, I can't wait to finally get to drive this car.
