Added another to my fleet Now i have 3 Red SS's!
Since i have a kid on the way i need to get something more practical, and i sent the S10 packin in favor of this... A 2008 TB-SS AWD. The wife will be driving it mostly, she wants the plate changed to "HER LS2" bahahah

I wish I lived the life where getting a more practical vehicle means getting an almost 400hp SUV haha. Nice purchase though. I really wanted one, however to get the one I wanted with leather, AWD, sunroof, all the goodies it was 8 grand more than the Imp and I couldn't swing that. Good luck with it.
I say you throw a turbo on it and get it featured in GM High Tech like your Camaro was haha.

Just give her an obnoxious exhaust. I want one too 
Ive seen black, white, red, and blue ones. The black ones seem more bought so it might be a better investment to have a non black one.

I had to do alot of lobbying to get this! My other option i was facing was a new Traverse. And basicaly since GM is pushing 08's out the door with rediculous rebates, i got this truck for 12,500 off sticker in the end, adding gap ins and the 5 yr 100,000 GM warranty to cover bumper to bumper vs drivetrain on top of that. Mine is just a 1SS though with cloth int... But that works fine for family needs and my chessie cant scrath it up like he can with leather lol

I was hell bent on having leather when I was looking at new cars, now I don't think I want it again. 12.5k off sticker is awesome though. Traverse's aren't all that bad, but given the choice, I think you chose well lol. How does it run compared to the MC when it was stock?

It feels slightly quicker than the monte did stock or at least pretty close anyway, however the monte im pretty certain would take its lunch money from a slow roll right now. I have to get the tank of 87 out of it first the dealer put in as its KR'ing to beat the band. Then i will begin to go to work on tuning it with a fresh tank of 93 and a 160 t-stat.
