It just shows how much torque this monster has

I'd sure like an update on your driving experiences now that you have such an increase in HP and torque!

I'm wondering on the effectiveness of traction control with so much HP and torque available. Does it still work, or is it overwhelmed by the instantaneous torque? How does the car perform as a daily driver? How does that much power affect drivability on tight windy roads?

Just an update...

The car is driving great. I have just over 6K miles on the car. It will be a year old in about 3 weeks. It is my daily driver and only vehicle.

The rear tires are practically bald! Yet, I haven't been doing any burn outs. I ordered some Continental Extreme Contact DWS replacement tires. The bald rear tires are scary to drive when it is raining.

I get about 22mpg on the highway and 14mpg in town. That is not bad for a 650hp supercharged car.

I have not found any wheels I like well enough to replace the polished RS wheels I have. I will keep looking, though.

Only 6K and its a daily driver? how far is your work hahaha

bi11ymc · 05-02-2011, 10:38 AM

Work is less than 8 miles away from home

bi11ymc · 05-11-2011, 07:50 AM

I decided to order a set of these Cor Brava wheels from Nine Ball:

9.5 X 20
11.5 X 20

I am putting Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires on them from Tire Rack - http://www.tirerack.com.

275/40
315/35

The wheels will be all black with brushed face and chrome center cap

TPMS sensors ordered from patrickt at GMPartsHouseUSA.com - http://www.gmpartshouseusa.com/partl...egoryID=167783

bi11ymc · 05-12-2011, 02:23 PM

Tires are ordered, Continental ExtremeContact DWS - 2 x 315/35x20 shipped. 2 x 275/40x20 were ordered on April 5 and are still back ordered. I had ordered a pair for my stock rear wheels. They will now go on my front Cor Brava wheels...if the tires ever ship.

TPMS sensors shipped.

I just made the payment to Nine Ball for the wheels, so those should be here in 6 to 8 weeks, hopefully.

Darth_Emma · 05-12-2011, 03:44 PM

This is exciting! Congrats! Be sure to post pics when you get them on your car.

bi11ymc · 05-13-2011, 08:03 AM

It is exciting. Tony (Nine Ball) sent me a PM saying he would get the order in to Cor today

bi11ymc · 05-13-2011, 11:14 AM

I received my TPMS sensors and 315/35x20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. Unfortunately, here is the response I got from Continental concerning any 275/40x20 tires:

Dear Bill,

[Web Inquiry: 110513-000006]

Thank you for your interest in the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. Unfortunately, demand has exceeded our expectation and it may take several months for production to reach your local Continental Tire dealer. There is no exact date available at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I just ordered 2 x 275/40ZR20 XL General G-MAX AS-03 tires. I will put these on my stock 9" wheels, since the tires that came on the car are scary to drive on. As the time gets closer for my wheels to be shipped to me, I will wait and see about the Continentals.

bi11ymc · 06-22-2011, 03:15 PM

I hope to have the Cor Brava wheels by my birthday, July 12th, but I won't hold my breath. I have had no word about them, but it has not been 6-8 weeks, yet. They were ordered Friday May 13th. This Friday will be 6 weeks.

bi11ymc · 06-24-2011, 05:54 PM

I just received my tracking number and delivery date! June 28!

bi11ymc · 06-27-2011, 07:12 PM

UPS says my wheels we be delivered on June 29!

Darth_Emma · 06-27-2011, 07:15 PM

Ooooh! I like those Cor Brava wheels a lot. I can't wait to see pics!

bi11ymc · 06-29-2011, 02:09 PM

Thanks to Nine Ball, here are my 9.5 inch and 11.5 inch Cor Brava 20 inch wheels:
