It's not the same exact car though lol. It's a car that has better hp/tq, better handling, 5 speed, better interior seats, better body kit, 30k miles less than mine, better reliability, warranty, and for the same monthly payment I'm making now.

what's wrong with getting an upgraded version of the car you love, while paying the same monthly payment?

True that. At the end of the day you can go for whatever you want Scott.. Just seems like you might regret it if you have the opportunity to upgrade to RWD v8 for the same price. All v8s don't get horrible gas mileage either.

Tell you what, go test drive a C5Z06, a GTO, and Mach 1 and we'll quit badgering you

Doesn't hurt to try.

I priced out a new Camaro SS and it was $7/mo more than my 2.2
apparently 3X more horsepower only equates to 7 bucks a month...go figure

GMS1 at F.H. Dailey

I live in the Sacramento area and I have been thinking about getting the GMS1 installed at FH Dailey. Does anybody have the name of a good contact person there? After spending about a half hour talking to two asshats at my local dealership about GMS1 and basically finding out that they will charge me $650 just for the parts because they would have to buy 10 "to get a discount" and that they have never installed a single one, I thought I would be better off going to a GM Performance Parts dealer like Dailey.

Any help or other ideas would be appreciated. Well, except for.."buy the parts and do it yourself" because I am not a great mechanic and want a dealer to be on the hook for any problems, warranty, etc. Thanks.

From what i've seen it should cost about 500 plus labor, which depends on where you go.

Same with a dude named Able. In fact, all of FH Dailey is awesome, unlike the ****** at Dublin Chevrolet. Installed I paid ~650.

Real life insurance:
21, no tickets $1200/6 Months. Esurance. $500 deductibles though, that's why it's high.
