Good looking car! Looks well planted and stable...the body line above the door handles to the bottom of the windows has me thinking BMW.

And take THAT Viper boys...drove from the facility, did a lap and came back to the facility in 2:31...makes that 7:12 time they were bragging about on Monday kinda lame.


(yes, I am kidding)

Too soon to be an ATS-V, also it didn't sound like a V8 to me, I bet that model running on the ring was a sport model meant to compete with the BMW 335i.

it had the massive 6 piston brakes from the CTS-V. it didn't really sound like a 6 cylinder, we may need more opinions

Well it was absolutely not the sound of a small block V8, also it looked like 4 pot brembos in front, and single or dual piston brakes in the rear. The wheels are smaller on the ATS than on the camaro which gives the appearance of the rotors filling out the inner wheels. No way is this the ATS-V. The rear brakes is a good indication.

Sounds a lil like the 3.6 V6 DI

[FenwickHockey65]

Probably won't be a naturally aspirated V6 for ATS.

Edit: Never mind.

i just listened to it on my desk top instead of my phone and it definitely doesn't sound like a v8 anymore. i think my phone has a hidden make cars sound better app.

If true, I will be very surprised.
