i would have gone w/ a 2SS Camaro for about a grand more, brand new... better styling and better engine IMO. you are free to get whatever you want OP and congratulations on your new car--enjoy it.

I saw something interesting it only has 270 lbs of torque.

G
330 HP @ 7000
270 lbs @ 5200

Camaro V6
304 HP @ 6400
274 lbs @ 5200

Less than Camaro, and almost 20% difference in numbers between its HP, 330 hp, and torque, 270 lbs. Seems severely underpowered off the line and in acceleration situations. Off the line the car can be beat but even if you were in a road-racing situation then those extra 25 horses on the G are not even being used properly. The Camaro would have no issue keeping up with this car in either situations.

The power in the G is also delivered at higher RPMs, its more readily available on the Camaro.

And all this power the G makes is using Premium fuel.

Then you say "bang for the buck", when the car you're comparing it to has 126 more HP, better brakes, better suspension, etc. No it doesn't have as many gadgets, and it has a simpler interior, but its a performance car. And a car that STARTS at $22k (and BTW the comparable model to your car a V6 2LT is about $28k loaded), compared to a car that STARTS at $34k for a dead base model.

Yeah you got a good deal on a used car, now go drive it, stop patting yourself on the back, because nobody here cares.

Man, I just saw a white g37s what a big, ugly pos. I just wanted to puke. But then further down was an m3 that looked just like mine, except it was a different color. Made me feel a lot better. Then I saw a F800ST, and remembered that there are still people with class.
