Please tell me you have a garage to park it in. I have feeling this story is going to end badly. You are going from a v6 with marginal torque to a supercharged V8 with tons of it. Based on the clip you already posted, it seems inevitable that you are going to lose control of the car if you don't respect the amount of power you just purchased. My suggestion, get some seat time and learn how the car reacts to your input before you go out and try to show off the prowess of the car. Remember, Uncle Ben said, "with great power comes great responsibility!".

of course I do. and the reason why I lost control in that vid is because it was below around 40 degrees and the F1 good year tires that comes with this car is not recommended for driving under 40 degrees temp.

Anyway I ordered some a/s tires. and yes you are correct its powerful and now im taking my time getting used to it.

i had 7k on my camaro. The GT500 is 2012 GT500 that had 12 miles on it (brand new) with upgrade recaro racing seats, navigation, and SVT performance package. MSRP 57,xxx. I paid 49k and some change about 50k out the door. but I still have to pay state taxes here since i bought it out of state.
