Default Drove an LS2 Goat Today... Impressions.

Well, I finally did it. I drove an '05 Silver 6-speed w/the 18's. Very impressed. Pulled strong through the gears, sounded great and real comfortable. Salesman told me to let her eat... don't think he realized my understanding of "let her eat"

1 complaint: Piston slap on start-up??? GM hasn't solved this issue yet?

The 05's are lacking when it comes to the drag strip. They rip but the torque mang. and not being able to tune really leaves alot of hidden power which is a good thing (unless Edit never comes out). Get the 05 and when you can tune em, you'll be even more impressed. They are quick cars.
