My New 2015 Chevy SS **Boo-Hissss**

Beautiful cars for sure, debated getting the wife one, them we had our worst winter in over a decade. Enjoy the ride, now get outta here with that Chevy lol
 
That interior is super nice. Chevy did a really nice job on the interior. I really like the color. It reminds me of the S10 I had in electric blue.

What's also interesting is the 6-speed manual does not get hit with the $1,300.00 gas guzzler tax like the auto does, however C&D got worse gas mileage in the manual. The manual offers a "skip shift" feature that improves mileage by a 1-2 mpgs. There are guys running sub 13 sec 1/4s with the manuals but it's all within margin of error.

As some may know, I sold my SHO a few days ago. Here is my new 2015 "Perfect Blue" Chevy SS with 415hp, 6-speed manual, magnetic ride, 3.70 gear, sun roof, full sized spare (an actual spare forged rim w/ summer tire)


Hey Mike -- wanna race ? ? ? ? ? ?  ;)

Sure...and I'm still waiting for the friggin dealership to send me my GoPro. Actually, I'm starting to get a little pissed off about it . I have my intake and catchcan arriving today.
 
I sure do like these. I skipped over them, because their price was unnegotiable, and...ahem...GM.

Awesome cars though. Really, more what I was looking for. More of a sports car appeal, instead of the sport lux sedan, like the SHO.

Thanks Z. It's a good time to be an automotive enthusiast. There's a ton of fast cars to choose from almost any manufacturer.
 
Thanks fellas. It took me 25-30 mins for the install. Pretty straight forward. I wanted to make sure everything was sealed and tightened. The RotoFab intake is a really nice quality piece and definitely produces a throaty sound.
