Thumbs up Picked up my SS/TC today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, I finally got the title for my Avalanche from the Credit Union, so I was able to deliver it to the buyer. From there I made a B-line to the Dealership where my SS was waiting. I picked it up with 25miles on it, and it already has 130 after a long day of driving!(no, im not complaining) It is such a great car, even better than I expected. I keep finding myself saying, "This is really good for stock" for the performance and various features I come across. The turbo is suprisingly audible for a stock car, and the exhaust at mid-high RPMs has a really nice rumble to it, both of which suprised me. The sound system is also very good for a stock set up. Handling gets an A+, as does braking. Finally, of course, this thing is very ballsy. Boosting around not even at full throttle I was making 15psi in 3rd or 4th. Even with traction control on you can rip the tires without even meaning to. Im really looking forward to seeing if GM comes out with any stage kits, but Ill definitely be having fun in the mean time. Well sorry for the novel here, Im still excited after my first day. Ill have some pictures up hopefully tomorrow, and maybe a video if I can figure out how in the hell to get it on my computer haha.

Im not talking about just a little spin like normal with all fwd. I meant that I spun them through second with traction control on. I dont know, maybe Im not used to fwd, Ive always been a rwd guy haha. It seemed good to me though.
