Thanks, The first questions I asked when I got in the car was what fuel is in it. He said they put 93 in all there sports cars on the lot. That's recommended from the factory. You know a car salesman never lies

Was there any pinging?

No pinging the motor sounded fine.

Fast enough to justify 20k more than my 490rwhp SS after a few k in mods...not even close. Beautiful cars, and I would love to have one, don't get me wrong, but not worth that much more money IMO.

The car was a little bit faster but It really felt like my SS would have kept right with it. It sure didn't feel like 155 horsepower difference. I would have loved to run them side by side to the light and see. I can't say for sure that the car had 93 in it but the salesman said it did. It had less than a quarter of fuel in the tank. The broken in part is very true but it still was a let down. The reason I went to look at the car is it listed at 60k something but they were trying to move it for 52k. They would have taken 50k for it I'm sure. I had every intention of making the deal today. I just couldn't do it though after driving it.
