GM and Chevy saved a toddler's life today

I think you need some Kudos too for your reaction. You and your car made a difference in a few peoples lives. Don't want to think of how it could have turned out.

....Sure enough, one of the little toddlers (must've been about 2 or 3) breaks away from Mommy and Daddy in a run, gets to the corner of the plaza, makes a quick turn, and runs right in front of my car before tripping on her feet and falling face down onto the brick street.

Thanks to the AWESOME Brembo brakes Chevy puts on the SS, I was able to quickly stop and avoid what could've been a very tragic moment for that young family. In this case, it wasn't my life that the car saved, but someone's child. To the designers, engineers, and plant workers--know this: you saved a life today!

Cool but I think the brakes on the V6 could have done it to...they stop pretty good.

I'm sure they do, just never driven a v6 Was mainly just glad that the car stopped so quick and the little kid only suffered a sore nose/face from falling.
