Going back to re test drive the 09 SS with 18000 miles.. We settled on a price of 19700 out the door... Its got all the options Brembo brakes everything so.. Just need to find a dealer to do the upgrade.

Sorry for the high price but I like seeing the values going up of late on these. For a while when they were still in production you could get a low Mile 08 or 09 for as low as $14,000. Since production ended demand has our gained supply.

how do you add images on here??? I got my ride, i'm super happy with it. I got 31 MPG on the highway coming home from the dealer and that was with some fun... Can someone explain the competion mode... What is different then just traction control off? Also was anyone else scared to do the no lift shift? Ok thats it for now we rolled out of the dealer at ten p.m so I really didn't get to play with it that much.. I take back what I said about the Pioneer system.. It thumps pretty good and has pretty good sound quality. I just had to hook it up to my phone thru the AUX.. I guess the radio stations sucked or somehting when I first test drove it. OH yeah and I hit .66 G's on the off ramp coming off the highway.. Very nice

Hooray. Congrats on the joining the club. When I first test drove mine, I wasn't entirely sold on the power, but the handling was a joy. You'd be surprised how much it'll take before sliding. .66g is nowhere close to what GM claims on the skidpad.

I can do .66 just on a left turn. There is more there.
As for the no lift shift. I will let someone explain it better but I have used it on one of my test drives and it world.
It is one of thse things you brains says no you are going to break something but it really works.

Let the fun begin...and congrats on getting the manual (clearly what you wanted).
843de is right...for some reason some dealers are familiar with the LNF Turbo Upgrade, while other know absolutely nothing about it. As long as you find a dealer who's had experience installing them, you should be golden.

Yeah i put the car in competition mode and when it came time to shift under full throttle I started and bailed and pushed in the clutch.. ALso is pretty common to turn 3K RPMs at around 80MPH.. in 5th gear..??
