Feel about as fast as my V was. Hard to say. But not that cammed wave of power.

The car is def not setup for striaght line. THe electric steering + the giant tires + the suspension setup make it grippy as ****. But at the same time darty on the highway.

Its a ZL1 without the boost basically. It has high praise for the handling.

And 285s front and rear. OMG grip

Was hoping no holes in the front. Might take it off and get painted plugs for now when the bumper comes off to change the grill.

Thankfully its more of a dark red. Those pictures do NOT do it justice. Color is the crystal red tintcoat. Like the CTSVs I believe.

Didnt want to strech into a V2 right now and the v1 had a buyer. Last time I skipped a buyer because no replacement I waited a year.

In teh end I like this more in a LOT of ways. the HUD and backup camera are nice. And being over 6' the view out isnt as bad as others made it out to be.
