anyhow, are thoese your actual stats from track recently? qtr and 0-60? very nice. i guess that corsa did help a bit.

Those stats were from a old copy of Car and Driver comparo test between the M5, SLC55 AMG and STS-V. I haven't taken the car to the track yet. I may do so this winter (cooler denser air = better times) with 1/2 tank of 100 octane.

Funny thing the day after I had the Corsa installed, I went to lunch with my older daughter. We were on our way back and I had to give a little gas on the boulevard to get over to take the on ramp. I out accelerated a C5 Z06 to get my spot on the on ramp. I then did a "sound" test getting on the freeway. When I slowed down for the traffic the Vette goes roaring by me doing a flyby. The day after I was on my way back from Coast Cadillac in SoCal traffic stop and go. I was manually shifting up and down keeping up with the traffic and I admit, I love the overun popping and crackle in the exhaust when you get off the gas at higher rpms. Well I gave the throttle a goose, and the engine roars. Next thing I know some red Dodge Caliber SRT-4 rides my a$$. I am thinking this guy must be nuts. Next thing I know he does a ricer flyby in the car pool lane while driving by himself. I seem to get a lot of reaction with the STS-V. I still have not seen another STS-V on the road. However last week I though I saw one and did some banzai weaving to catch up. It was a V6 STS with a V wire mesh grill. I was disappointed.
