My bud, Gone to the Bowtie side, AKA Greg, just left. He rented a Silver, 2SS from Avis and drove it down so we can "Play with it" I will post pics shortly.

The front end is too low to the ground and I could NOT drive it up on the car ramps I have. So... I could not get pics of the underside.

I put some traffic barrels up at the ends of my property lines on the street for some safety. Then we tested the traction control and tire durability in front of my house.

Then a little drive to this nice straightaway down the road. We drove it in Manual, Normal and Sport Modes! WOW!!! Super nice. 100 mph and still wanted to give MORE and more. Braking was awesome too! Hard brake... nice and straight (no play from side to side) and fast. Very fun!

What A GREAT DAY! I can't wait till Christmas!

Even with my car, you're right. This car finds 100 mph boring.

Yeah... I am number 28 on the allocation list at my dealer. Since I got it with special pricing, Someone paying full price has priority. To get mine at $35,587, I can wait. I would have LOVED to have been Mole's brother or something to get the GM pricing! lol Then I could have gotten it for $34k LOL
