SILVERADOSC540 no longer

Sorry. That's a sore point with me. A kid I went to school with killed a woman racing Daddy's 'cuda. He was tried as an adult and went to prison for vehicular homicide.

 

Another kid I went to school with got a new 'Vette from Mommy and Daddy for graduation in '78. .

....he never made it to the graduation ceremony. He ran the car into a pole and killed himself with it. Too much car for too little experience.

No worries man, I feel ya. I was riding along with a friend in his tow truck one night in the mid-eighties(his dad's company,had the city contract) and he got a call about an accident. Car veered off of the road on a curve at a hight rate of speed and hit a tree. Went top first into the tree and the bumpers were dam* near touching each other. Had to cut the car in half to get it off of the tree, turned out to be a mutual friend of ours in his Mustang.

I may take some liberties on a straight interstate with no traffic, but not with intersections or side/crosswalks. Top speed I've seen in this was on a three lane interstate between two exits about three miles apart with concrete barriers down the middle. The only idiot that could have been killed was me. That's one of the reasons that I autocrossed the SS, to drive it like it was designed to drive in a controlled environment. Next up may be the road course at Iowa Speedway...

Jonathan

incredible performance. I bet it's a game to drive. Im just not a fan of the body style.

[KARNUT]

I am, the more common its looks the better, never went for flash. The driving, the performance. Id be making it as understated as possible, lite color steel wheels perfect. Iv had thirteen HOT Chevy Impalas for that reason, till they went front drive.

Hennessey is getting predictable. I bet their meetings go like this.

 

"OK, what's new and RWD.

 

Well, the new Chevy SS is out.

 

OK, let me know when its boosted to 1000HP. "

I think the g8 looks better. My wife talks about replacing get g8 with one... I thinking of keeping the g8 as a toy. Along with my denali hd I am covered. Problem is I don't like the front end looks at all. Maybe if I wait they will redesign it.

[SILVERADOSC540]

Sounds like you're all set then. The G8 is a great car and is quite handsome as well, you should keep it.

Hi kids. Got an email today that I thought I'd share. Still a truck fan, still a Callaway fan. This one is kind of cool. Hope this finds all of you well.

Odd they couldn't as much of a gain as last Gen.

 

And, they should invest in a better camera

[Chris]

I saw that, it is rated at the same HP as last year.

[SnakeEyeSS]

I saw that, it is rated at the same HP as last year.

Yes. Less gain. Last gen has less HP stock.

Congrats on the SS
