Yea I have driven two different SS. Both of them were test drives. One was a 12 2SS L99 identical in looks to my car and then the second was a 12 2SS with NPP LS3 and short throw. Luckily at my local dealer they already know me and my dad since my dad has purchased quite a few cars from them. I basically just asked the manager both times if I could drive the car for fun and with the L99 she just handed me the keys to the one I asked for and said just take your dad since I was only 17. The second time I went with a sales man that knew absolutely nothing.
Honestly though I'm not sure if it was because they weren't broken in or if it was because I was expecting to much out of both of them since I have driven a corvette but they didn't feel all that much more powerful. Both only had 30 miles so I didn't drive them too hard but I did get on the LS3 quite a bit and the NPP sounded amazing. At the end of the test drive my thoughts basically were I couldn't justify getting rid of my car to get a 8 since I had so much sentimental value with it.
However I almost was able to drive a manual ZL1. I only got the turn it on and rev it a bit but by just doing that I could tell that it was a huge diffrence from just a SS.
