I wasn't set on getting rid of it until I drove the RS. It's been the only thing that's come out in the past 4 years that I was REALLY interested in. After the test drive I came to the conclusion that I can give up some straight-line speed to gain amazing handling and a better interior.

Hill hold, the car automatically adding gas when you take the clutch out, and pushing the clutch in to restart after a stall are three things that I thought I would never love. Never ever had an issue with moving at all, but this just makes it too easy.

Bonus: My insurance dropped $190 going from the SS to the RS too.

I've driven a few.. nothing too impressive imo. Interior is bad for a 45k car car.

A little background, picked up a used, lightly tuned 07 SS SC about three weeks ago, and getting familiar with her.

Went wingless and debadged this weekend. Replaced broken radio antenna mount and added arc shorty antenna. Cleaned MAF and throttle body, checked plugs and injectors. Also discovered Pacesetter headers I didn't know she had. So later on out cruising, CEL comes on. Thank god I got a boy who works at Chevy, let's me pull in the back door and right up on a lift or whatever. After CEL comes on, I started getting this knocking out of my front end, area of the belt/timing chain. Loving these forums, jump on and looking, go out and check the car, my tensioner pulley is way sloppy, likely the source of the noise. Got to Chevy this morning, CEL shows a bad cat code, those aren't needed in CO anymore, so that's coming out when I go to my muffler guy in a week or two and get the fart can replaced that the previous owner put on. (Seriously, a few hundred dollar borla system that sounds like doodoo, why????? lol)

However, did not notice this previously and a major fail on my part when inspecting before buying, apparently one of the valve cover bolts has the head sheared off, bolt is still in the hole. Saw that and just felt screwed, but my boy at Chevy has a kit he said he can get that out with, so fingers crossed when we go to replace the tensioner pulley in his garage, he can get that bolt out. The sheared head does not seem to be causing any problems, not making the cover loose we checked it as best we could, no leaks or running issues, but now that I know, it's all I can think about.

Today I gave up hope that someone else wants this abomination of a car, so I decided to make it into even more of an abomination of a car. I'm going to use all the carbon around my house to make this roof and carbon quarter panels and really turn this into a Frankenstein horror show. Rivet the panels on, the whole nine yards

That's why I'm turning it into Frankenstein's monster. Because I'm just going to just buckle in and fix it. Then troll people with how bad it's going to look
