It is so worth it on the streets; the car feels extremely stable, its planted, it puts the power down perfectly, car is really well balanced. Doesnt matter if you do not track, normal driving is so much fun!
Just the wheels are worth the extra cash.
Advice; inspect closely the body near the tires...stock Goodyears are terrible for throwing rock debris. Buy mud flap ASAP.
the shifter and steering wheels are worth it too.
Cant go wrong seriously.

^ Great stuff. Solid points. I appreciate it!

Like having the different look than all the other ss cars out there , it's gm certified and still has original warranty , so a piece of mind if anything happens . Go for it and enjoy it .

^ True. There are three regular SS cars in my neighborhood alone. I would prefer something less common. PS, yours looks GREAT! I love that color.

^ I've been mod hungry with almost every car I've owned. It would be nice to buy something that I don't feel the need to mod right out of the box. For what it's worth, you have one of the best looking cars on this site IMO.

^ I can't afford a 6th gen with the options I would want, unfortunately.

^ Another great point. I won't be getting a sunroof since I'm 6'3" so I would prefer more headroom, plus I wouldn't use it anyway.
How many of these cars came with Recaros? I've only seen two in the months I've been looking. Also, they are all black, white, yellow, or bright red. I've seen ONE silver, and zero Blue Ray (or is it Blue Velvet?), zero Ashen Gray, and zero of the dark red (is it Crystal Red or Red Rock?). The latter three colors are the ones I like best, and they are the colors I never come across.
