I have a few favors to ask:
• Take a picture from the driver's perspective of the rear view mirror for me.
• Take a picture from the driver's seat looking back at the rear glass.
• Measure all dimensions of the trunk. While you're in there, look for evidence of Shunt.
• Lay sideways in the rear seat and try to get comfortable.
• Measure the side-to-side clearance between the rear wheels and the car in order to help us determine if we can put on something bigger than 305s.

Video (preferably without ridiculous wind blowing on the mic) of it on a drive by and pulling away from a start (with some serious acceleration). Would like to actually hear the exhaust/engine instead of annoying ambient noise.

Use OnStar turn by turn.
Turn traction control and stability control off.

Well maybe you could ask whoever is driving it to do the above and you can video it. It seems like every video of the SS that we have has "issues" (wind, ambient noise, not driving, etc).

A good vid of the exhaust sound under heavy acceleration. In the Car and from outside the car!

Your unvarnished opinion of everything you can think of - good, bad and in between (and why).

Any chance you can find out what the average mpg is (or has been since it started driving around)? Might be listed in the driver information center thing. I know it is in my G35.
