Got it!

Just picked up a Victory Red Turbo, and couldnt be happier.

Spent all day driving around and cant waite to put more miles on it tomorrow, this cars handling is nothing short of amazing for a factory setup.

I'd have to agree with Modified Mags recent review, "the new Cobalt SS kicks serious ass",
they had the opportunity to hit the time attack track at Buttonwillow Raceway, and broke 2 minutes at a time of 1 minute and 51 seconds.

They stated that the 2 minute mark was rarely broken by the fastest RWD and AWD vehicles, let alone a FWD.

The last thing they had to say was that we had a new king of the FWD category.

Get um while you can, as an employee of the GM Parma Metals plant, the next model might not be what you expect.

This is what GM is capable of when there backs are against the wall, great job Lordstown, everyone of you should be proud.

I know I am.

I'll have some picks up on Saturday folks, sorry, working some overtime due to the new Malibus and Impalas selling well.

Looks like these might be the next big thing, by the way, had some yungin in a civic pull up behind and flick me the bird for no reason today, kids today really need a serious old fashion ass kickin, when I pulled up next to him at a light, he wouldnt even look over at me.

You kids need to show some respect to us old birds, you ******* wouldnt have the tech you have today if it wasnt for us.

Peace

I'm 41 by the way and my kid loves the new ride.

I had 2 kids try to get me to race them today (just got my car) and one of them seemed to get upset that I would not.
O well, I have built to many motors to get one it until I have some more miles on it.

I'm 50 and just love this car.

I'm the second oldest member in the 3rd gen Camaro, Firebird club that I am in.
So it does not bother me to be the oldest one here.
