New to the SS

Going to pick up a black 71k mile 2009 Cobalt SS/SC tomorrow. Stock other than a K&N intake, motor mounts, and aftermarket headlights (I believe). I have been lurking through stickied posts getting to know more about the SS and already got good answers to the main questions I had; what clutch should I go with and how hard is it to deal with the direct injection intake value problems. Previous Cobalt knowledge; I have been working on/keeping a 2007 2.2 Cobalt running for some time now and know the SS I am getting well. Installed the intake on it and helped with the brakes on it (I think on the brakes). Current owner is/was a member here and provided a highly detailed maintenance record - down to when coolant was topped off, etc. I also know how quick it is - edging out my previously owned Genesis 3.8 the one time they ran against each other. I have a daily, the 2014 Elantra GT Hatch - so hopefully I will get to play with the SS some and not worry about it being super reliable. My other chevy may have more power but it also has to carry 3 times the weight when empty; Chevy Express with the 6.2 in it.
