We already know it's a mid 13's car. Seems to me they do their own "correction factors" too.

It'd be nice to know what it trapped. Still... not bad at all for R&T.

What a great car, even if you pay the MSRP you cn still get it for $28k. Rebate $1k and If you have the GM card you can use up to $1k also.

hey man, when shit falls off, just throw it out the open window (more torque remember) and you get some free weight savings.

Make sure the gas cap doesn't open though. that shit be like an air brake.
