99SilverSS 06-22-2009, 01:13 AM Congrats. Looks great.
2010_5thgen 06-22-2009, 08:38 AM it looks like a shark with the halos on.
ChrisFrez 06-22-2009, 09:19 AM Great looking car! Congrats!
bond2 06-22-2009, 10:50 AM Thanks guys, I ordered the black stripe package but the stripes are on back order, but it still looks great without em. The V6 is surprisingly quick. Feels about as fast as my LT1, just not as much low end torque. I was worried the car would feel heavy, but to me it really feels light and the cornering/handling is fantastic. Considering it has 20" low profile tires, the ride quality on bumpy roads is truly amazing. I would say even better than my SRX. Still getting used to the shifter, not quite as short as my Pro 5.0 on the T/A, but for a factory piece its really nice and smooth.

prophet33 06-22-2009, 03:33 PM no stripes boooo jk hot ride anyone have one with silver stripes besides me

I ordered it with the black rally stripe package, but they are on back order according to my dealer. So I should have em by next week I guess. I'll update with new pics once its done.
Chrisz24 06-22-2009, 09:43 PM Congratulations!
Looks Beautiful! What is that where the spare tire goes? Sub?
How does the exhaust sound to you?

Thats the air compressor, which also has a tire sealer kit. You save $150 if you don't get the spare tire.
The exhaust sounds decent, has a nice little rumble to it for a V6. Corsa Perf exhaust is interested in using my car as a guinea pig for a new V6 performance exhaust system. In exchange I get a free exhaust. Its tempting, I just need to decide whether or not I want somebody messing around with my brand new ride. I am sure their exhaust will make the V6 have a much deeper rumble.
Andy30thZ 06-23-2009, 07:43 AM I'm sure Corsa would make a great product you'll be happy with!

i just talked to corsa the other day and they mentioned a v6 car coming in and getting done. you might want to hurry up on that deal in case they get someone else. i was going to go with them but decided to stick it out with Borla, even though they are taking forever!
Adam4356 06-23-2009, 09:26 AM thats nice. hope to see it on the street in action some time
How do you like the V6 Manual?
bond2 06-23-2009, 07:20 PM How do you like the V6 Manual?
Sorry guys I shoulda done a more detailed write up. The V6 M6 was actually on hold until May 15th, as the clutch was being re-evaluated after some issues in the test cars. I gotta say, they really got it right. It's smooth as silk and the V6 is really quick. Clutch pedal is fairly easy to press down, but still has a nice firm feel to it. Upon releasing the clutch to engage the flywheel you get a nice spring feeling when it starts to engage. You can easily move the car without even applying any gas. On the highway you can pop it in 5th at 40+ MPH and into 6th around 60 MPH. In any case I really like it and the shifter is nice for a factory piece.

Chrisz24 06-23-2009, 10:46 PM I'd be cautious putting an exhaust on that car, GM says they did alot of work to tune the sound so it sounds good. I made the mistake of putting a Borla on my 1998 and it never sounded good at higher revs.
Similar to how a 350Z/ G35 sounds good factory but crappy with an exhaust- If you choose to have Corsa do anything I'd ask that they keep the factory system in useable condition so you can re-use it again if need be.

Good tips, I am still questioning whether or not I want them to mess with the car. He said when it is all done they can put the factory exhaust back on if I don't like it and then they'll put the Corsa exhaust on my firebird instead as payment for being the tester. I got a few days to think it over, but I am getting used to the stock exhaust note and its growing on me. It's got a sporty little rumble to it, but fairly quiet when your cruising.
on a side note, the audio system is freakin awesome. I love that you can connect an iPod up via the USB with full search capability or you can control the iPod and play the sound through the speakers using the Bluetooth Audio mode. The radio is a really nice integrated piece.
bond2 06-24-2009, 10:26 AM what rpm are you at?
I was trying to keep the rpms low to increase mileage:
While in 5th gear I was around 2300 RPM @ 60MPH
When I dropped it to 6th it was around 1700-1800 RPM
Cruising at 70MPH on the highway in 6th its dead on 2000 RPM
For comparison, my M6 Swapped LT1 cruises at 70MPH around 1600 RPM, but my rear end still has the 3.23 gears
