No. That's my dealer's show room car.

We tend to call the car you are sitting in "real cars". For us, a CTF or PEP car is not purchased, owned or leased until we turn it back in, hence "not real". Any car you guys get is a "real Camaro" purchased or leased with your own hard earned money. Mine are fake. I just get to play with them. Down side is they have to go back. But then they become real.

I hope when Number 3 becomes real that he has a nice home where he is appreciated and loved. Ok, sorry. Sounding like Geppetto now.

PEP assignment is random draw. Could be anything. We can preference up to 16 categories. My bottom 3 are Van, Van and Van. So I don't get vans. Sometimes it depends on what is or isn't selling.

Intel says there are a few Gran Sport Corvettes in the lot ready to be assigned in CTF. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

BTW, "Sporty Car" is my top category. Problem is a 2 door Cobalt is considered a sporty car. Not an SS mind you but any 2 door.

Well, not exactly. That's my dealer's V6 showroom car. I did get to drive it and I am very impressed. I can't wait for mine now.

Mmmm...Corvette Gran Sport...

I guess you'd also qualify for a CTS Coupe...

Either way, you may need to take another road trip to Florida...

BTW, here is a little review of the car that I drove. I was really expecting the worst visibility in this car based on all the negative comments from people. Anyway, sorry to quote myself, but thought you guys would find this interesting.

I also thought that the rearview mirror visibility was good. I didn't get to get on the car much, but the power was impressive. The car felt very solid and hugged the road even at low speeds. One last thing that many people have commented on negatively is the exhaust note on the V6. It was started right in front of me and even at idle I thought it had a great sound for a V6.
