Great car, no problems besides gas eating and balding tires.. Oh, and guys in "fast" cars thinking they are faster... But that's part of the fun. Interior could have been done better. Exterior looks are exceptional. Power is way under-rated. 12.9@112 mph, you tell me... Me vs. C5; 13 to 1..... Impressed yet?

Originally owned by Gm Mechanic. Blew up the LS1 at 30k in 02'..replaced with new LS6, added jethot headers and exhaust, lowered on SLP springs with subframe connectors and 4:10 gears. Dyno's 442 hp and gets and amazing 27 mpg on the highway in 6th. I couldn't ask for a better car. Last of the true muscle cars! Don't think I will ever part with it. Only 311 6speed formula's in 01' and its a loaded Black on Black Hurst 6speed. I LOVE IT

I have had absolutely no problems with my baby. This car continues to amaze me. She turns on a dime, drives like a dream. As yet I've not had a ticket, but it isn't for lack of trying. This car screams for more gas, and the engine handles this with ease. I've taken 3 1000 mile car trips with this car, and it's extremely comfortable, and reminds me each time why I purchased the car.

2.5 yrs later I still love this car

I started out leasing this car. I recently bought it because I still love it. I added a flowmaster exhaust, K&N air filter, changed the factory 16" rims to Coddington Shyster 17" rims and put BF Goodrich KDSW tires on it. I run a mix of 2 gal racing 100 fuel mixed with the rest 91 octane. These four improvements have really improved the already excellent performance. Now, I have little tire spinning (even with the tires a little wet), no hesitation or knocking (because of the fuel mix), and with the improved air flow the car is really explosive now. I find the car handles better than most of the reviews I read.
