Default the time has come.......

i got married this 4th of july and after the honey moon we are moving into a new house and blah blah blah..... anyways after we are completely moved into the new house we get to go car shopping

here is where i need help from you guy's......

we both have vehicles but want a "weekend" car and she and i both are in agreement that we want the new 2010 SS...... she kinda wants a convertible so she's wanting me to look at freaking mustang gt's

will chevy offer a convertible SS soon?

if not no biggie, i think i can change her mind on that but she will have to drive it sometimes so she perfers an automatic

now i have promised myself that the next car i get will get a pro-charger, will the 2010 SS auto tranny hold up to the additional power of the pro charger or no???

in my 00' ss a4 the tranny had a rep to be weak but my 02 ss m6 was suppose to hold alot

whats the deal with the new ss trannys??? can i pro-charge an auto or will i blow the tranny???

or do i have to teach her how to drive a stick???

which one do i buy???

The new auto's in the 5th gen. SS are a lot stronger and will hold up fine.
