Oh the LS3 motor is pretty good in the new SS Camaro. Nothing to great if you know what I mean. The midrange is allright.

you know you've done it right when you've taken brandnew nitto 555s and in 20miles drained a full tank of gas and brought the thing back with bald tires and multiple police phone calls against you. so we expect no less of you with the c6 vette!!

Are you high, nothing great? that car pulls like a beast, we beat the snots out of it all night and it kept asking for more, that motor is fuggin amazing. Ive never driven something that pulls so hard from 75-150. I really see now why people love LS motors so much


We had a fun night, left a little rubber on the tires for hertz that car is just plain fun, even with an auto, we ran a best of 12.5 at 113, car never really got a good chance to cool down though... best 90 bucks ive ever spent

nothing gets me more fired up than seeing an old man in a vette that dosent get beat on...

car was amazing, just stepping on it in first and halway through second, your doing 60, that combined with it being bright yellow, makes it a speeding ticket waiting to happen. and i didnt even mention the brakes... it stops quicker than it takes off

I remember I got to drive a C5 a few years ago. Man, that thing was incredible, when I got on it, it would just hunker down and go. I had never driven anything so fast (I was 19 and didn't have any major projects done at that point).

Glad you are having fun. Its amazing that the BASE model with an auto does 12.5 box stock, gonna take a supercharger for me to to it.

Did ya ever figure out if it has stability/traction controll?
