Onstar sucks. I got two incoming calls on the 10 mile drive from the dealership. I dont want telemarketers and bill collectors calling me looking for someone who had that number before. I will see if the entire service can be deactivated tomorrow.

This car is really slow. That will be fixed shortly.

Everything else is great. Beauty to look at. Smooth driving.

Err... what? The car is really slow?! Auto, manual? Explain. As for the On-Star... that's silly they called you. I haven't been bothered at all since getting mine. I called them, did the tutorial deal and am all set.

NicksVSix · 07-12-2010, 08:52 PM

Yeah, I don't understand how anyone could say the SS is slow.
426 hp, 0-6 in what, 5 seconds?
That's comparable to a Porsche 911.

2010 SSRS · 07-12-2010, 08:54 PM

slow, wow, glad mine does not have that problem.

khabboub · 07-12-2010, 08:56 PM

maybe he is REALLY above sea level. like on an airplane or something. i hear at those altitudes you dont get enough air for your motor to run properly.

David79z28 · 07-12-2010, 08:59 PM

I got a call from an insurance company within minutes of leaving the dealership!!! Burning up my free minutes...

I have barely gotten into mine and she aint sllllloooowwwwww!!!!!

Capthowdy · 07-12-2010, 09:02 PM

puuuulllllease....slow...this car is hrdly slow...

CUPRA · 07-12-2010, 09:05 PM

Got my first 'call' from OnStar last night as there was a good song on the radio! Doh!

Letting me know I have the navigation facility and I should try it NOW by pressing the blue button. Hmmm, I was two miles from home... I think I can make it from here!

My 2011 2SS isn't slow, but I also haven't gotten on it yet as I still don't even have 500 miles on it yet. Soon, soon I will tho!

Huck1974 · 07-12-2010, 09:06 PM

I just came out of a very fast car, so everything feels veeeerrrryyyyy slooooooow.

Our cars have their own phone number. I'm getting calls for the last guy to have that number.

What the #$% are you saying?

Are you some kind of ghetto rapper?

You can't test drive a 2011 you have been waiting on.

There were no manuals on the lot. I've been rolling in autos circa 2010.

Guys, like he said, he is coming from a really fast car(not sure what, or 1/4 times), so even though this car is not slow, hardly, it could feel slow to him. Just sayin.

650plus whp 07 c6

before that blown 06 c6

all motor 05 c6

03 cobra 580whp

You get the trend.

I just stepped into a car that is quite a bit fatter with just over half the power.

Yes it is slow. I also said it could be fixed and it will really soon. Stage 2 cam goes in Saturday for starters. I'm mocking up a top mount twin turbo setup.

The Stig · 07-12-2010, 09:30 PM

It's ok. I figured it out. Your last car had a jet engine modded to the back. I've been debating about doing that to my 'maro, but you know gas prices and everything I've had to hold off and only get headers/CAI/etc. It's such a pain only having a 0-60 in the 4.7s.

If you want fast, go drop 17K with Callaway and get yourself a 0-60 of 3.9 and a 1/4 mile of 10.9
