It's the perfect scratch for that itch.

All I can say is KUDOS to anyone who was able to stick to the break in recommendation of under 4000rpm and not over 80mph. I got to the on ramp to the freeway after leaving my dealership before that went out the window. Three turns and I couldn't help myself. I didn't bounce the needle off the rev limiter or anything but before I knew it it was doing 5-5.5k on the tacho, slapped it into 2nd, wheels churped and before I knew it the 'don't go above 80mph' went out the window too. But seriously who am I to hold her back? She wants to move and move she does. As soon as 1500 miles came around took it to 150mph before I ran out of road. Gets there quick.


All I can say is this car is amazing. Looks great, handles like a champ and moves to boot. Had a guy in a Ferrari come up to me admiring it and said he is going to look in to getting one. I've got 2445 miles clocked on it now and unfortunately I don't get to put any more on it for another 3 weeks because I had to go back to work :( Only mod so far is cosmetic, put 20% tinting on. Simple, but really helps complete the look of the car. Got blackouts ordered for the lights and bowtie.

Only cons I found so far is cosmetic from the factory and visibility issues. But the visibilty issue seems to be diminishing the more I drive and get use to the car. Cosmetics are a blemish in my ECF (shown in photo) hoping it will buff out or get replaced under warranty?? Didn't notice until I got to Seattle. Can only notice it at a certain angle to the light. Exhaust tip issue is visible on mine, right side is lower then the left. Middle console piece also doesn't stay clipped down for some reason. I think they broke the clips that hold it in on install. More warranty I would think.

All in all extremely happy with the purchase. The news of the 13' GT500 doesn't phaze that at all. Thanks GM. You did good.
Congratulations! She is a beauty! What is your favorite feature on it so far? Keep the pictures coming.

Hard to pick a favourite feature. There are too many. Top of the list would be the sound of the engine, HUD, getting pushed into the seat with WOT and seeing the heads turn.
