...to keep this car under 40. It feels like the car hates going below 40. Maybe it's just the driver, but doesn't feel like it's stretching its legs until around 60-70. Man I love this car.

First congratulates on the new car, As for me the SS likes to go at least 80 going below that is like running on 3 of 4 rims.

Pleanty of power on tap in any range just have to be in the right gear. At least the manual feels that way and it proves it with the times on the quater mile on the other thread all or most of the top ones where manual.

Someone asked how it feels to drive this car... at first i was like "COOL"....but now as i get to know it more... the only word that comes to mind is VIOLENT!!!.... just so much fury comming from under the hood.

Congrats on the car. I received my 2LT ABM M6 the same day. Great weekend, but you already know that. I made the comment to my friend that this car just screams to be driven!. I know that with the V6 it feels plenty quick, I don't even want to know what the V8 would feel like.

Tape a $20 bill on the dashboard...have your friend in the passenger seat try to grab it and tell him he can have it if he can get it before you reach 50

If not, he owes you $20.

Have you tried that yet?

MustangConvert · 07-20-2009, 12:25 PM

I'm trying to be good, but it's hard when the car taunts you. I could have sworn the Camaro called me a puss when I didn't oblige the Mustang next to me.

OldTimer · 07-20-2009, 12:28 PM

Agree with all above, plus, I have found that in order to get the smoothest shifts from 1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd you need to be up to at least 2700-3000 rpm's. Anyone else notice this?

SamsinSS · 07-20-2009, 12:32 PM

My SS runs sooo smooth cruising at 80 mph!! I love it!!!!

UCF w00t · 07-20-2009, 12:34 PM

This car scares me. It's going to get me put in jail.

Jamie Mac · 07-20-2009, 12:53 PM

I just think the suspention works better at higher speeds. Makes the car feel smoother and more planted to the pavement
