This location is a lot safer than many back roads and access roads that people have used for previous demonstrations.

I find it sad that you can't have a little fun on your own street without a bunch of fellow SS owners scolding you,

Nice tracks!

Tracks look great

Looks like your ride wants to hook a little right to left

Good thing to know when I let mine loose

Because it IS a neighborhood, and I have to live with these people. I have some real pretty tracks scattered around the area this week, but these I could take a picture of, since thats my driveway you can see to the right.

This wasn't a planned run, the guys roofing the house across the street have been fawning over my car for days asking me to let her rip, after putting about 200 miles on her the day before (not highway) she felt more alive. So I just said, lets see what happens. The short set of black "squeak" marks are from my 2nd day of ownership at a drop from 3k for reference.

If you hold the TC button for 7sec and turn everything off, the backend really does want to be in front. Practice some launches in launch-control mode before you let her rip.

By the way... I did not follow the GM break-in procedure. I drove the car like I was at a drag track every time I left a stoplight, and she woke up at about 600miles. Just an FYI to those still wondering if driving the car hard hurts it. Just watch your oil and tranny temps, and have fun.
