3. Clutch chatter, even if it's normal from a dual plate clutch

4. Some sort of faint chirping sound coming into the interior from the engine bay that I can hear with the windows up that drives me batty once I heard it for the first time. Can't unhear it now.

5. HUD basically disappears with polarized sunglasses; not sure if that can be fixed with a better LCD or if it's an artifact of reflecting it off the glass

6. I still don't care for the electric parking brake

7. On some really smooth roads I still notice the grumble from the driveline on accel/decel

Mostly minor nitpicks, to be honest. I'm happy with the car.

Interesting on the polarized sunglasses. My HUD doesn't disappear, it just turns green instead of white with them on. I have Oakley. Maybe it depends on the type of polarized lens.

Same here. Myne turns green and is a bit dull, but I can still see it.

Oh, and I love the electronic parking brakes!

Not that I ever really did it but....RIP e-brake slides.
The end of hooning.

Huh, that's interesting. Maybe I'll try a different pair and see what happens. I just have a regular pair of Ray Bans that I've been using for many years. They do a wonderful job of cutting glare, but the HUD disappears. Maybe the angle of the polarization is different on my glasses -- if you rock your head back and forth, you can see that it significantly changes how much glare is blocked. About 45* one way or the other and I can see the HUD just fine, but at the same time the dash becomes very bright... :(. Can't win.

Dual Exhaust, I think

Great car. Best track value currently available. Here are the annoyances at more than 31k miles:

• Electronic emergency brake - makes training drivers on the manual more difficult
• Magride suspension is too stiff even in tour mode
• Steering is unnaturally stiff even in tour mode
• Not flex fuel compatible from the factory
• PTM button is too easy to hit on the track which disengages all settings and typically engages "snow mode"

Again, the fastest track car I've driven. This car gets a lot of questions and comments for the price of it. It can keep up with cars that cost $25k more all day on the track. GM guarantees drivetrain coverage in unmodified cars when experiencing a failure at the racetrack. I'm not sure Porsche or Ford would do the same.

1SS 1LE here.

1. The stereo does suck, but the LT1 sound track more than makes up for it. I don't plan on spending money to upgrade the sound system anyway.

2. The most disappointing feature is the lack of storage space for things. The glovebox is a bit of a joke and the center console even more so.

3. Electronic parking brake. Would have rather had a good ol' fashioned handle.

The end links are a shame

Same here.. but I have to set it pretty bright to still read it.. bright enough that it's annoying as hell at night so I have to turn it back down.

And at that point it disappears with sunglasses on (polarized at least but I don't own non polarized ones). So I leave it at the nighttime brightness setting and just don't bother using it during the day.

Wow I find the steering to be way too light in tour mode. Maybe just because of what I'm used to driving? Suspension I find to be way too soft and "floaty" in tour mode also.

I've never hit the PTM button on the street or track. I've seen others talk about that before as well but I just don't see how it's possible unless you are grabbing the base of the shifter or something?

The NPP/MUFFLER SUITCASE.. I hate it.
Why not do dual mufflers???
Also, look under the rear end just before that suitcase the exhaust on both sides has a flat kink in them.

The SS BADGE on the Bumper.. I like it better in the trunk area like the GEN5

For those DYI oil change.. relocate the drain plug in the middle. The roll-on lift I use when draining oil from time to time hits the side of the lift making a hell of a mess. I made a little metal splash guard now from learning it's going too happen.

Draining the tranmission fluid and crossmember is a pain in the rear as well. Gen5 had no problems in drining the transmission fluid.

Interesting... how so? I am a complete novice when it comes to driving a stick and I loved the e-brake when I test drove an SS with the M6. Loved the fact I could set it when at a stop and it would automatically release when it sensed forward movement.

Probably because it's on/off where a car with an "old" parking brake handle lets you slowly release it while engaging the clutch at the same time.

The car has hill start assist also though making the parking brake switch not worth using in that use case..

So maybe just new drivers forgetting to use it when parking? No idea.

Personally I don't trust it. New fancy electronics. Get off my lawn!

I find hill assist to need quite an incline to activate and thus doesn’t prevent roll back all the time. Hence why I used the e parking brake during my test drive with the M6.
