Awesome cars. If I didn't need a truck that is what I'd like for a daily-driver.

I've only been in the car for an hour so far, but its bad ***. Decent power so far, surprisingly good handling car despite its weight. The Brembo brakes are stellar, heck the rotors are like 13.5 inches or something like that! The rear seat DVD player is a hit with the kiddo, the in-dash navigation is a hit with the little lady

That's a great looking ride! Those seats look real cozy.

Seats are nice, even getting out a GTO with its outstanding seating.

The first thing I want to change, and I can't do it (yet), is the electronic throttle pedal curve. Its like the GMC trucks -- they open the throttle blade much too slowly and it makes the car feel somewhat "lazy" at part throttle. Hopefully these PCMs get cracked soon, because there's heads/cam packages that need to be tested out

Ready for some real-world "testing" against a stock LS2 GTO? We can do some runs from a stop, runs from a roll, etc.... maybe even video tape them. Could be fun!
