There are always people on forums, ecspecially car forums who can never give anyone any credit what so ever. I don't know why. Here is my fav example I see all the time.
Dude #1 "I just ran a 15.2 in my car"
Asshat #1 "BS, I don't believe you"
Dude #1 "No really, I did. It was this past Saturday"
Dude #2 "Yeah, I was there, I watched him do it"
Asshat #1 "BS, I don't beleive either of you, post slips"
Dude #1 "Ok, here is the slip" *and it gets posted*
Asshat #1 "BS, that isn't you time slip, post a video"
Dude #1 "Ok, here is a video" *a video gets posted*
Asshat #1 "BS, post a video showing your trap speed on the score board".....

To an outsider, that probably sounds so funny and pathetic, But to us waiting for our cars, we fully understand and can't wait to see one!

Well for me my initial reaction is to say what some on here have said "post pics" i don't say this in disbelielf. I just like to see things.
Which this might be the case if he doesn't have a digital camera then oh well.
Hey man congrets on the car i hope it everything you thought it would be.

A couple of interesting things - they had the car priced $2,400 over sticker, calling it "adjuted market value". They actually asked me how much over sticker I was willing to pay!
Also, they said that they weren't accepting GM employee discounts from customers for the car, not even their own employees! I wonder if others will run into this issue. They weren't willing to deal on the car either, since this was one of the first delivered.
The car is fantastic - if I had a digital camera I would post pics. It broke traction in 3 gears without even pushing it hard, and was up to 60 before I even noticed.
I hope everyone sees theirs soon - it is well worth the wait!

Pics
I will e-mail pics to jonelz tomorrow night from my cell phone. No promises regarding quality of them. I'll take some of the dash as well. My ordered redss arrived at my dealer on Tuesday. You guys should be getting yours any day now if you ordered back in October or prior.

Better to host them yourself outside the site and link to them.

Not to be a *****..... but I think some people here owe an apology for some of their prior remarks towards RedSS. I can understand the demand for proof, but some went over the line. Not everyone is computer savvy
lets not tear ourselves apart, lets join together and become stronger
