It is actually a lot more compact/smaller that I thought it would be. I finally got to see one in person yesterday and I was really impressed, pictures and video clips just doesn't really do these cars justice, you really have to see it in person.

Umm I doubt they would stop making M6 since choosing AUTO on the website is like, a thousand dollars extra.

no it has to be true, the guy at the dealer told him so. and actually GM ran out of funding to produce the specific muffler bearing that was used on the M6 cars, so now they can only build A6 cars. Be sure to ask for that racing blinker fluid too!

No M6 Camaros would mean no LS3's. So BS.

Yes, i concur with all of you regarding the M6... I think the guy "assumed" that i did not know any better and just wanted to sell me a car.. Can't blame him!!

I like the Spiral Gray myself...

Yeah, well the guy at the local dealership here told me that the SS cars were 360hp 6.0L. I told him I think you might have that mixed up with the G8 GT. All they had there was a red V6 RS. It sticker for $28,XXX. They did say they had 5 SS's on the way but they were all sold already.
