Replying to: 8over (Jan 01, 2006 6:42 pm)  I do not believe or expect this will be as reliable as my Honda CRV, Toyota 4Runner, or Lexus RX330. However, it is *far* more fun to drive, and I don't care about resale value for this car - plan on keeping it (I had my 1996 Impala SS until 2003, admittedly not as a daily driver, though). Don't even bother looking at one with a sunroof. Dismal stupid lack of headroom. Really upsets me - I'd like to own a sunroof someday. And what's worse is they seem to tie sunroofs in with other options I'd like. It's amazing the difference between how this drives and how a standard TB drives. Flat in corners, accurate steering, good placement, and the ride isn't punishing given the performance. I will say that rear seat room is dismal. They should have shifted the rear seats back 6 inches and stole from the cargo area (which is more than ample). Keep in mind GM incentives (Bleeding Red Tag prices) end January 3rd - I haven't heard what's after that, although we're too hooked on incentives now to go back, IMHO.

Can someone give me some advice whether living in Detroit is a reason for me to go with the 4WD SS instead of the 2WD. I am currently driving a CTS manual shift and opted for snow tires during the winter to overcome traction issues in the winter. If not 4WD is not needed I'd rather go for the 2WD and enjoy the SUV to a greater extend. A side remark about the SS vs. SRT-8; if I had the luxury I for sure would choose the SRT-8; but in at the same time I probably would go for a Porsche Cayman or Boxster (my preference is still to drive a car instead of an SUV; can't tow my boat with a sports car though).

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 11, 2006 5:13 pm) But I'm planning on sending the exhausts out to the sides (behind rear wheels), and having the tow-hook come out the middle cut-out. It makes more sense, and I really don't care much for the center exhaust look - that's more for corvettes, Ferrar, and Lambos

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 12, 2006 6:19 pm) If not, I've already been communicating with Flowmaster to encourage them to specially make an SRT-8 50 series muffler. I've always been a fan of the sound their stuff produces. |
