So rockstar when do you get yours? You gonna lot it, or order it? Either way the wait is unbearable, but so worth it. I get to drive mine to Tennessee this weekend. Can't wait. I also got my Honor and Valor badge, Oh yeah! So hurry up and get yours already!!! What are you waiting for?

The overall performance of the LS3 is very good but I'm most impressed with the top end power. The car pulls hard in the higher RPM's, especially with a 3800+ lbs. car. It's even more impressive with simple bolt-on mods.

I had never driven a SS until yesterday after owning my V6 for 2 years... the L99 is bad ass as well!

Yes, if I remember correctly I think the overall weight savings is around 6 lbs. Not much but it's something.

Man I want a 2010 2SS/RS M6 IBM (with sunroof if possible) and LOW like 5k+- miles if possible so I have some looking to do! I might get a black one, CGM or RJT in that order but I love the IBM the most, I'd want to paint pearl white rally stripes on it!

I have seen these cars go for 29K to 31K and that's what I'm looking for man, a good deal! Sat in an automatic 2010 today to check out the sunroof and it smelled like a new car! AWESOME!

Yeap man I wanna save a lil money for mild modding

gotroost · 05-18-2011, 12:55 AM

Just to stir things up! Go big! IOM with black stripes, 2SS/RS and M6. Auto may be faster off the line, but rowing through the gears with a V8 is something to enjoy and no AFM issues. Skip shift is easy to eliminate if you are tame on take off.

Dude join club CGM, you will not be disappointed....

liquidsmoke · 05-18-2011, 02:30 AM

This is exactly why I never test drive a better version of the car I intend to buy.
Far as I'm concerned the V6 is as good as it gets baby!

Dang your smile put one on my face lol.

chrisinlittlerock · 05-18-2011, 03:21 AM

LOL, I remember that day. I had pre-ordered mine in 09 sight unseen. Waited forever glued to this web site. My dealer called and said the oweners son just got his Black SS in and did I want to come see it. When I arrived they let me sit in it before it left the lot. The owner showed up and tossed me the keys and said"its just a car" The moment I drove it off the lot I was in love and 30 minutes later I brought it back with the same grin you described all over my face. It was forever till my own car showed up.

Kycamaross · 05-18-2011, 04:25 AM

Rockstar, fitting that 1 year after joining C5 you finally got in one and drove it......Now it's time to pull the trigger
1 question for you though...........how tall are you? I am 6' 3" with a sunroof, with the seat all the way down and almost all the way back, I am just fine, however if I wear a hat, it hits the roof.....and hitting a small dip, forcing the little button on top of the hat into the center of my noggin, was not fun!!!!!

Ok, enough of that............pull the trigger and get one already will ya????
