Just remember that if you go for a 2010 SS, the RPD and sunroof were standard features. Also, the only interior color was ebony.
And remember that LSD is only w/5 speed. The 2010 perf.pkg. was the Brembo/LSD combo.

Ok gang, the big test drive is tomorrow.

Thanks for everyone's input so far. I have a few questions I would like to ask for those of you checking on a friday night

I had a hell of a time getting a silver one lined up so it looks like I will be settling for black, which i do like, but I prefer silver.

Anyways, here goes:

1. 17k for a 2008 w/ 25k miles. A little steep, but not tooo bad is it?

2. New to turbos (I have an '86 chevy caprice classic with 90k right now, first car was an '85; love Chevy boats!) so I was wondering what exactly am I doing when I "boost " the turbo to check for funny noises and define "funny" noises since I do not know what to listen for.

3. A friend told me I could get the performance seats later on down the road since this vehicle does not have them. What sort of cost/legwork should I expect to make this sort of swap in the near future?

4. Any other tips when checking out/test driving this specific car while at the dealership?

Thanks again in advance for those of you not out partying tonight!

Wish me luck in the morning.
