Another solid review that squashes the ET from what that other "professional" driver from the video got.

This car is gonna rock!

Glad I got my Stage 2, so the SS/T won't get too far ahead of me.

I don't know if I'd be too worried. Like I said before, the average driver is gonna run the same times as the ss s/c.

Can't wait for the car to come out and people start racing them, then we can see once and for all what's/what.

Regardless, I'm still quite happy with mine though!

i think this car will run faster than the ss/sc. with the upgraded handling , hp, suspension, and no lift shift how could it be the same?

ah come on the ss/sc guys have a fantastic beautiful and very reliable car i think.

the ss/tc seems sort of like the older cousin of the cobalt, since a while back the corvette was named big bro.

very good review..im excited to get mine mid 09

Seemed to be an echoed sentiment in anything I read about it . It make me want to test drive one , not for the LNF , but to see how the driving dynamics of the car have changed . Its character seemingly is a night and day contrast to the SS/SC as far as steering , braking and suspension is concerned .

I would love to see a review by Jeremy Clarkson
