Congrats
Congratulations. I bought my '09 SS three weeks ago. I just love it.
Can't keep my foot out of boost.
I wonder how long this lasts.
Well have fun with it. I am.

I went to the dealer yesterday to test drive the SS he has as well as the Panel he has on his lot. Of course I just had to try the SS first. Never got to the Panel. LOL It's a 2010 silver ice with an ebony interior, 35k and a 5 speed. Pictures to come soon. It is a Virginia vehicle and I saw the car fax. No wrecks or major problems. MINT. He gave me the keys and said, " just let the turbo warm up a little first for about a mile or so". I pulled out into traffic and babied it for a little and when I felt a mile passed, I decided to goose it a little. Holy crap, I thought, this thing threw me back in the seat. It was totally amazing, this car has more horses than my V8. I couldn't even listen to the radio, which sounded awesome, I was more interested in the sound of this "little 4 banger". I just glanced over all the other features and am sure I'll take the time to explore that stuff later. The shifter has the short throw in it and the damn thing practically shifts itself. I was thoroughly impressed with this test drive. I drove it for about 10 miles and decided to head back to the dealer. I parked it , looked at the front wheels and found Brembos on it. Cool beans. I didn't even haggle over the price, $17k, put a deposit down and am patiently waiting till Monday for the financial gurus to finance me and get insurance on it. It's 97% done and I anxiously await Monday. Merry Christmas to me !!!! I had to tell someone so you guys were the first ones I thought of. 
So it appears I will be joining the SS ranks. Happy happy joy joy....

I used the Hewlett Packard Program to have mine tuned. Im very happy with the results. We fattened up the fuel and added some boosties It showed 3 degrees of knock (well within safe limits) at 22psi its making just over 300hp and is an absolute blast...havent even touched the timing yet which would allow for more boost but Im happy with it as is...I highly recommend the HP tuner. GM hit a homerun with this car in my opinion
