Well I decided to take the loss and traded in my ultra silver 06 SS for an ultra silver 06 SS/SC w/G85. Of course I lost some money on the trade in with how much I still owed, but hey you only live once right? I loved the SS so much I decided to invest in the SS/SC for the long term!






This is the first stick I have owned and have been getting to know the feel of the car in the past week, very fun car to drive. I already got my windows tinted, 15% in the rear and 50% on the front, next on the list is probably an intake. I'm trying to decide which to pick up, but I'm leaning toward the AEM because of it's stealth and dryflow filter. I'm a little worried about voiding my warrenty so soon, I don't have an established relationship with my local Chevy dealerships, I don't know if they will be cool about mods or deeks.

 

looks good, the 18s look wierd in chrome...
debadge that rear end, lower it, then yer done with the body

 

Nice. Love the color. I did the samething with my old 2.4. Not a fan of the polished wheels, but good job on the G85. I wouldn't worry about an intake voiding the warranty. They would have the prove it and the chance of something going wrong because of an intake. Even if the intake is the cause, just toss the stocker back on.

 

If you do a search you will notice that a CAI is a bad idea for the SS/SC unless you can tune it with something like HP Tuners! Have fun with your new ride!

 

I've had my k/n cai on for over a year and i haven't had a problem.

 

no issues with my intake either, im getting a tune soon anyways;P

 

Not one check engine since intalling? You are one of the lucky ones! You too distillion.

 

i got one the first day i got it, havnt seen one since, that was months ago...
jbp's intake.

 

trader....j/k bro

That car is hot **** and I really like the wheels. Goes well with the color

 

huh? An expensive tuning product for an intake lol. I'm sorry I don't remember every reading CAI was a bad idea without tuning. All it gave most was a cel and you can get that flashed now so im confused at your post is all.

 

Do a search. You will see all kinds of people having issues. Intense suggests not running a CAI with any of their stage products unless you have a means to adjust the A/F ratios. You haven't heard of the infamous lean codes people are throwing with a CAI?

 

Something about intakes making the SS/SC's run lean. Hence the lean codes. Intense Racing made a post about it in another thread.

Anyhoo, to the OP, nice looking car. Too bad you took a hit and it sucks to lose another 2.4L owner, but good luck with your new toy

 

LOL I would have waited for the turbo...the one that is comming out on the Sky redline...hopefully we will be able to purchase them

 

Someone will get a great deal on the SS I traded in, low milage, tinted glass, no abuse and I took very good care of it.

I really like the polished wheels, plus I don't have to worry about any paint flaking off 'em down the road. I drove 50 miles away to pick this baby up, they were all gone from the dealerships around here (they told me they only get 1 or 2 from Chevy a year) and it had exactly what I was looking for, Ultra Siilver exterior, G85, XM Radio (gotta have my Opie & Anthony Show ), sunroof, polished rims, and side curtain airbags. I'm glad this didn't come equiped with Onstar, I didn't want to pay the extra dough for something I won't use. Not many SS/SCs in this area, in fact I've only seen one other SS/SC here in town, a Laser Blue one driving around once, so this baby gets alot of looks.

 

the polished wheels , look alot better (id like to see a set on the blue)

nice car , enjoy the upgrade

 

I've never gotten a lean code from my intake and it's been on for 5 months.

 

If your running an intense system yeah, you better be prepared. The rest of us running an intake is baby **** in the big picture. INTENSE is a whole different world, and Im sure the post wasn't in reference to running that.

 

Grats on the purchase man. Hopefullly you got in on the 0.0

 

I guess time will tell? If you are running lean with just an intake it is not baby ****! It could be dangerous for a boosted aluminum engine! You may learn the hard way. I will never take that chance. There are much better ways to get power from this engine.

 

I have the injen and ive never had a problem. Im going to get the tune when the header and downpipe come in and get installed.
