yeah i know. I wonder how sluggish it feels on a SS. I really want to test drive one to see the difference :p By difference I mean power and what not.

Chances are you won't feel the full power of the SS because most dealers don't put in 93 octane.

i know... anyways i dont think i could since im 20 and i was barely allowed to test drive a camaro period -___-

Yea, I hate when I go into a dealership and I get the "you don't belong here" looks. And then the salesman acts like I know nothing about cars. It usually only takes a few questions to realize he's the one that knows nothing

J_Vibe92 · 07-03-2013, 05:02 AM

I get that all the time. I literally know more then half of them. most just seem to follow protocol and mess up trying to do that.

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.

I think it's a good way to see if you like them. I personally don't like plastidip that much and I just have it on my wheels because I don't want to give up the money to powdercoat

.

But I would try them out like that and then get them in vinyl. Mine are gloss black vinyl

I love hash marks! And as long as the plasti dipping is done well then it will look good

Thinking about just adding a hood scoop to my car instead of a functional hood. Thoughts anyone?
