it was an A8. handling was something else, the grip is absolutely tight and can take a turn like its a video game. power is where i was kindve dissapointed. exhaust was music to the ears. it has noticeably more kick than the v6, but it felt like it kindve lacked. could it be the late throttle response or are these cars in some sort of demonstration mode at dealerships? if i was buying, the handling wouldve sold me the most. all in all, i wouldnt spend more than 35k for the ss. i still would take it over the v6 anyday.


the car i drove was a 2016 camaro 2ss with MRC and without NPP, listed at 45k. however, the guy was very nice to let me test drive it and i seriously appreciate it.

anyone know if the 6th gen also needs a fuse pull? Also, good chance the dealer put in regular gas.

I would guess no. You can control it from the factory unlike the 5th gens. NPP now has different operation modes like the C7 vette.

I spend too much money because of this place......... It's almost every month that I'm buying something off of this site. I've been looking for some Pfadt sway bars.

Yep, bought my house a little over 5 years ago and the two checks I had to write for a down payment and closing cost were right at 15k, and half the closing was paid by the seller

Only costs me 1500 to refi last year though for those closing costs lol

Houses are dirt cheap here. 5000-5500sqft house is typically ~$450k

Haven't posted in a while been crazy busy, some updates to catch y'all up...

1. Summer classes are offically over as of 5 minute s ago, just finished my desertation paper on exercising in hyperthermic environments; their symptoms, treatment and prevention. Killed the last 9 pages this morning, it's due in 2 hours.
2. Need to make my decision on grad school; UConn, LSU, or UCLA
3. Got my first tattoo last week after probably over a year of debating on what to get.
4. Was in an accident the other night after being driven off the road my someone who came over the center line and almost hit me head on. Got about $6k in cosmetic damage to fix, insurance is covering about $5k of it.
5. 5 year high school reunion this weekend; beach day followed by casino for the night
6. Going to Atlantic City next weekend

I would be interested in reading that dissertation paper, if you feel like sharing.

And we need a pic of the tattoo!!

Otherwise, stop and take a breathe now. Relax and enjoy some downtime.
