Nick named my 2ss after Deroit
I grew up in Detroit in the 50/60s when the term "muscle car" was being carved out on Woodward between 10 Mile & 18 Mile roads. This stretch was, literally, the testing track for GM & Chrysler.
Also, love Motown music. Result: nick named the 2SS "Motown Steel". |

As a former Detroit resident (Royal Oak), I gotta say that I love the name. Like I LuvMI.

As a Michigan native myself, I was pretty honored to open up the door of my 1LE for the first time to see the "made in Michigan " sticker on the door. Invoked a sense of pride for sure!

I grew up in Detroit at the same time; I remember Woodward Avenue and the whole car scene.
So glad the pony cars have grown up into real sports cars. |

Thanks, Guys.
As for Fan 11, yeah, I did! Though I do respect you "purists". Here is another pic taken in Mendocino on the Cali Coast a few days ago. |
