How do you like it so far? I still wnat to test drive one, i've seen a couple on the highway, but could never get close enough to see if they wanted to run....of course no one ever takes a wagon serious! 
Anyway Welcome to the club! |
I think it's great. Best car I've owned. Handles well once you learn to compensate for understeer. Pretty fast. On the ClubGP 5.3L forum guys have posted 1/4 times of 13.9xx and a 13.811 totally stock. Comfortable and lots of options for less than 30K. Substantially less for me due to GMS pricing.
I highly recomend the test drive.
Only problem is the new factor means there is no aftermarket yet. |
Update. Someone posted a 13.766 today. He did remove a headlight and some other minor items. |

Do you work for Delphi or GM? Or does a relative? I used to work at Delphi, but beat feet before the current BS became public. |

Neither. I'm one of those EDS computer geeks. Even though we separated from GM we still get the discount. Unfortunately we have to pay some additional tax upfront. |

Xerox - ? Well, that explains why you don't like us Pitney Bowes people! Here I thought it was the Regal! |

No wonder the Pitney Bowes folks take so long to fix our crap. They drives Regals from job to job.  |

weren't there a bunch of guys throwing up the BS flag and giving him a hard time because he removed a headlight. "ohh it's not stock if you remove the headlight".
Either way, that's very very respectable for a stock car. I'd like to see you bring yours to the track next year...i'd like to see what the 'average joe' can do...
that 13.7 sounds kind of like a freak car, but I'm wondering if that really is the case or not. regardless...

Yes, I'm at Xerox.
I don't believe the supplier pricing available to Xerox employees is the same. I can log on at gm family first and see all the employee pricing and am eligible for the employee "bonus cash" rebates. |

Yep there was a whole stock, street trim and track prep war going on.
Hopefully you won't use me as the average Joe. Without lots of practice I won't show any 2.1s 60ft times. Maybe 2.1s of spin...
Not an easy car to launch and I haven't driven anything powerful since '91. |

What, so you get a discount on photocopiers and paper?

Actually, I do. But more importantly I get supplier discount pricing on new GM, Ford and DCX vehicles which is what I was referring to. |
