I agree. It just sucks that it is gonna take more mods than I thought to get it where I want it. Hell, that's making a big assumption that I even get it. Wanting something and being able to get it are 2 different things.

But yeah, kinda disappointed. It's still overall badassery though.

That video was a little disappointing. GM said 0-60 was 4.7 for SS. Usually these reviewers get lower numbers. Im surprised with what they got.

Oh well. Now I'll have to wait and see some real world numbers from someone who can launch worth a sh1t.

Again, don't get too discouraged, as Edmund drivers can't drive lol. Wait until real drivers get ahold of them to see what they can do. It doesn't even say whether or not they used the launch control, so it could be better with or without it, depending on if they did or not. If GM claims it can go 12.9 and 0-60 in under 5 seconds, it's obviously been done already and I for one believe them over Edmunds.

Is it just me or are these #'s higher then we expected ?

But have a look at the numbers. We recorded a 0-to-60-mph sprint of just 5.9 sec and a quarter mile of 14.4 sec at 98.0 mph. Impressive? Oh yeah. And even more so when you consider that this powertrain is rated at 17/26 city/highway mpg.

*EDIT*
Never mind day late and a dollar short lol
