Good catch..

So.. There's your output shaft issue (unless it's been addressed) -- no bueno on an S/C LS3.

has not according to GM VIN inquiry.

nothing but the PDI and the recall. S/C = tune = dead warranty

Unless you know the person.. You don't want to buy a used S/C aftermarket car like that -- well, unless you like gambling or are willing to put in $$ or wrenching to fix any issues.

I had 11PSI on my car during tuning only, but that was at SpeedInc and they immediately backed off the car and removed the part causing it. There's no mention of upgraded fuel systems, meth, etc. (may have it just not listed). 11PSI is just too much from a PD on this engine.

Well, those things you've listed are all opinion based.. so, no one other than you can ultimately decide (unless you're $$ constrained, then money decides some of it)

Drag race? - Auto
AutoX/Road Course? - Pick one -- though stick will give you more precise control -- unless you tune the auto
Lots of traffic driving? - Auto
Don't care about clutching all the time? - Stick

New vs. Used --- Well.... You can get good, stock used cars that haven't been beat on... But, there are always ones that slip through.. Someone like Bubbles would be more help there since she's got access to systems a lot of us dont.... New, you're going to pay more, but you know you're the only one that's beat the sh*t out of it..

Color? -- Hell, roll a D20 or something.

[steveo9043]

roll a d20? im lost haha

Yeah i know its all on me. I just over analyze and am indecisive a lot. I just have to go out and drive a manual and auto and see what screams to me more.

[HumanWiki]

It's a nerd joke.... In several RPGs, one rolls a die or dice for various reasons.. I was just saying to roll a die to choose your color.

You want to buy my SS? =) -- Never seen snow, rain, ice, mud.. Never been raced!!!

I'll straight up note trade ya....

(I think I want a 2013 GT500)

[steveo9043]

why do you want to get out of your camaro?

[HumanWiki]

why do you want to get out of your camaro?

I wasn't fully serious.... But, I do get all wishy-washy on it..

No Kids. No plans for Kids. Don't need the back seat. Don't like the weight. Etc.

But... I do need it to be a year round car (that's why I'm not yet in a Vette) and the GT500 thing is more of a joke carrying over from the total Cam5 uproar when the specs and prices were announced.

This car is heavy and it does cost serious $$$$ to lighten it up w/o crippling it. But... I'm already lots of $$$ in to it, so it's more of a "would like to" than a "am going to".

Much like a potential ex-wife.. It's cheaper to keep her..

[steveo9043]

haha yeah i saw the whole "gt650" thing. I also saw that article stating that GM called ford out to a head to head race around the ring and they wont do it.

How does the car handle in snow? It should handle similar to my G8 right?

I saw that... It's always a good show over on Cam5... Especially if one is bored at work. -- Hell, I even throw in some utterly wrong and troll posts just to stoke the embers (I'm an ass that way).

Well... I'm probably not the best to ask about the snow handling thing.. I'm the crazy one that drove all winter on the PZeros.. This winter, I'm staying on PZeros, but not really going anywhere in the car.... Well, to the local market and back, but that's back road, stop signed laden, little to no traffic stuff.. Not like the highway/long trip stuff I was doing last year. With the right wheel/tire, you'll be fine... Just make sure you think before you act and you should be fine.. However... With you still trying to learn stick.. I would absolutely not attempt to drive in the snow with PZeros under any circumstance.. I've been driving sticks long enough to handle slips, slides, etc w/o overreving or reacting too harshly -- I can't comment on the A6 in the snow.

In short -- with the correct snow tire package, the car is actually quite capable for what it is... Just don't push it.
