Your friend must have a few mods or tuned. The fastest stock G8 GT I remember ran 13.3, the new Chevy SS ran 12.9 when tested. On average the SS is about a 1/2 second faster in the 1/4 mile. Unless your friend has the G8 GXP, which are quite rare but make more power and come with a 6spd manual.

Bump. 2015s are on the way with MT and magride. Better color selection too, perfect blue and alchemy purple at least stand out a bit and will probably make the general populace at least think to themselves "nice malibu."
Anyone's interest piqued? I'd like one but $45k is way too steep for an LS3, old-ass platform...

They're definitely cool, but I wish it didn't look so much like a Malibu. I'm a huge fan of the concept; V8 RWD manual transmission sedan, but I really am not a fan of the styling. The addition of mag ride and the MT though is a great addition by Chevy, and I hope it sells well enough.

Ever drive a Toyota Camry or some other plain jane appliance aggressively? Nobody gives a ****, lol. It's awesome.
I almost want a silver one for the ultimate sleeper.

i think the ss is similar in size to the malibu but i dont think when sat by each other they look alike at all. I dont sit in many bmw's of audi's or anything but i love the way the ss is and i would say its incredibily nice and awesome value for what it has. When you hear it's exhaust it can turn heads. just my $ 0.02

Here's to wishing, hoping, and praying that they'd either come out with a cruze successor or give us it in a SS version with 5/6 speed.

I've driven a few for work, badass car no doubt. But honestly id invest in a manual g8 gxp. Cheaper, same power potential, sexier stock look imo and more aftermarket mods. The SS is built on basically the "same platform" as the g8/caprice ppv.

The 2015 is standard with magnetic ride control and a six speed manual. They also slightly updated the exterior. If you go spec one of these out there are a bunch of great colors available. These cars come loaded with everything for 45,000. Brembo brakes, nice wheelies, heated cooled seats...ect While somebody just bought a kia Sedona minivan for the same price. Or a Nissan Altima for 40,000+ Honestly I would rather buy the 2016 Camaro turbo for 26,000 and get some work going on that. Supposed to be 3,300ish-3,400lbs, compared to last gens 3,800-3,900lbs. Should be a very nice car
The cool thing is this is literally a rebadged Holden with the steering wheel on the right side(left
New cars are just too expensive these days..
