Enjoy it!

I mean its almost 2 years old. I dont know the actual in service date, but 5-6k a year is about half average i think so, not so bad. I dont think it was the guys every day driver I will say that. The car is clean though.

havent ordered anything yet. I need to get the sales tax paid and what not. But I am planning on American Racing headers with cats, some type of cat back, a vararam and a tune(probably a custom SCT unless there is something drastically better). I need to research lots of stuff and see what the local tuner population in St. Louis is like. Thinking on a supercharger at some point, but I think I am going to focus on suspension and stuff first(after headers/exhaust, intake, and tune though). The hurst shifter is pretty decent, but I had an MGW in my 07 vette and loved it so I might do one of those again, but I dont know if it would be as drastic of a change from the hurst to warrant the $300. Anybody know what you can get out of a used Hurst?

By no means was I saying that was bad, and it depends a lot on when it was bought in 2011 or if it was bought in 2010. Its below average miles, I was just saying maybe more than a weekend toy because if I drive to work everyday and thats it (which is usually the case) I will put on 4600 a year. it makes no difference and I didnt really need to say anything lol but I did...I was certainly not raining on your parade its a very exciting day!

Mine was my first new car ever and I could not have been happier. Was on cloud 9 for weeks.

I didnt mean to insinuate that you meant anything bad. Like I said I dont know when the car was put into service, I need to find out actually.

Its not my first new car. I think this is my 15th or 16th and im only 30. I think I have a problem with cars.

How do the rears look?

They are ok, but I doubt they have ever been rotated. I told the sales guy I wanted them rotated, but they didnt get to it last night. I mean when you can feel the difference in tread depth with your fingers, time to rotate them. They are going to do it Monday when i head back up to drop off the title and spare key to my trade in.

$31.5k. They were asking I think it was 33.5k. Seemed to be fair for the market in St. Louis. To build this exact car as a 2013 MSRP is almost 40k(39 and change). I wont say I got a screaming deal, but I feel ok with it. They gave me almost full retail for my trade in from what I was seeing cars exactly like mine being offered at various dealers within 300 miles of me so I was pretty happy to get that for it. 2.79% interest rate too from my credit union which the dealership was even surprised at.

No rotating an SS, front and rears are different sizes. you can go side to side I guess but that has no real point...?

i love my 10 2ss rs....will already have a cai intake and flowmasters on it, and plan to mod it little by little.

if i could though, i would get a 1le for sure!!!

Yeah time for new 300 dollar tires instead, ah the cost of ownership...

A lot of people ditch those summer p zeros about that time

[mattsfirstSS]

11K isnt time for a tire change unless someone spun them a lot, I think people are getting around 30k out of the p zeros if they are really nice to them average in the low to mid 20s though I think...?
