Upper left on both V6 and SS I believe.

I assume you press the stick straight down to go into reverse right?

I posted this in a couple of other threads. I have someone who is prepared to make some nice removable front plate brackets as soon as we get some measurements on the front end.

Also...HUD.....was it in the car or not?

Pretty sure it is up and to the left however I don't think you have to push it in. There's a solenoid that protects from going into reverse and burning out the transmission.

In a previous post she said there's no HUD in this one.

Just drove from MN down to SW Florida (Ft. Myers to be exact), we left Tuesday around 6am and arrived tonight, it was about a 27 hour drive for us. Hit a lot of bad weather through

Wish I would have seen this car on the roads though!

You can't be too far away from me, I am down here for 3 weeks, maybe you can give some of us insight on where you might be driving it during the day and we can keep our eyes open lol.

Thanks for the pictures! Just wish I would have been on the roads a few days earlier so I could have driven down I-75 when you were and spotted it!

Hello! A few more pics now that we're in FL--nicer weather for taking them! Also, I will answer some more questions later in the week....Reverse is up and to the right (different from the V6). Also, if you are in the Naples area on Friday, December 26th the car will be at the local dealer--Bob Taylor Chevrolet--from 10 am - 2pm if you want to check it out! Thanks for all the Christmas greetings--Merry Christmas to you too!!!

Wow heather you are awesome, Thanks for the pics!

HeatherR · 12-24-2008, 08:37 PM

I agree the front license plate has to go! You can tell the dealer not to install it even if your state requires it. There will be after market "no drill" options available. I lived in Ohio for years and never had a front plate-I was issued warnings, but never a ticket. This one has to have it being a GM owned vehicle in Ontario. From what I hear they are a bit stricter up there. I kept my car registered in MI, so no front plate required! The interior looks better in person, but if you don't like the styling then there's not much you can do

Dash is soft and feels nice. Dials, etc. do have a quality feel. The car sounds terrific--I will work on this! You will not be disappointed

Drives amazing! I will try to catch up to other questions I have not had a chance to answer yet! Merry Christmas!!

Thanks a ton for giving us the inside scoop on this car.

I may be able to come down to Naples on Friday.

I'm not 100% sure I can make it but I am gonna try.

Thanks again.

Chris

Heather, if you need help posting a video just PM any of the Admins or Mods. We'd be very glad to help.

Geno · 12-24-2008, 09:09 PM

Looks like we have Mud and Snow 20" tires on this car. Hummmm???? Did you have them put on? I didn't think they were available from the factory.

yotaman96 · 12-24-2008, 09:27 PM

Does this car have the launch control? If so, how does it work? Thanks.
