Even with all that exhaust they still get some rumble out the back. Watching drive around videos.

Neat car.

Thanks for the pics and write up Chris. Did you happen to get any side-by-side shots of the 5th vs a 4th gen? I am just curious how much, if at all, bigger they are....

Very Nice Chris I did not know you took that many pics of that thing, we should have washed it first. I did not get to take a good look at it form underneath, but it appears the same suspension as the GTO and the G8 up front.

No comment on the steering wheel picture. LOL

It should look familiar to anyone whose worked on those or owned those cars. It looks very much like the GTO and G8 underneath. No wonder it drives so nice.

I was sold till I saw that line. Very disappointing GM.

Meh, the fat tires should go in the back anyway, skinnies in the front

LS3, with heads/cam and Kooks 1 7/8" with duals and magnaflow bullet mufflers. 5XXrwhp with near stock driveability anyone?!?!
All for 10K cheaper than a BASE vette, if you get a 1SS
