I get it, the car isn’t for me, and I admit it, but I’m not gonna lose something I love and pay for.

It's not that the car isn't for you, it's just that you seem to have a little steeper learning curve. Many people on the forum are enthusiasts because we literally grew up around hot rods and performance cars.

As far as the trolling comments, welcome to the internet. If you have a question ask it. If you have question about the answer, ask it. Admitting a lack of knowledge is the first step to get that knowledge. When people try to help thank them, when people call you a troll, ignore them.

You have one of the best performance cars on the market. It is built on one of the best platforms General Motors ever made, the Alpha platform. This is the same platform the CTS-V and the ATS-V was built on. This is the same platform that just about any professional that reviewed and compared them to BMW said the Alpha cars were better. A member of this forum (forget who) in another thread said it best, GM built a better "M" car than BMW.

Forget about the recording deal, it's only getting in your way, and it won't help us help you anyway, and is more likely to help you learn what it's like to hit a tree, and you don't want to learn that!

Read up first on automatic transmissions and how they work, then read up on your transmission and how it works. Then read up on differentials and how they work, then read up on your differential and how it works. There you find out why there is a 'delay' when you stomp on the gas.

There aren't many cars out there that can outperform the car you have. Those that can have a much higher price tag, and for good reason. You just need a little education and a lot of experience, it's not going to happen over night. Relax, enjoy the car.

No no, I think holding the phone for a video is a great idea if you put it like that.

Read some of this and had to stop. At 21 I was in no position to consider $$$$$ vehicles, for one. Two I wonder what OP does for work and three, does OP live with parents. Four, maybe glad to not be 21.

Bought my 2SS Fifty used when I was 23 after fully paying off a Fiesta ST that I bought brand new at 21. Not that hard to do with a decent paying job. I also live 1000 miles away from my parents. It's a Camaro not some imported luxury car.
