A little V6 action form the weekend...

It took a little weaving to get it to fully come around with both wheels but I half blame it on the sloped parking lot :)

Buyers guide question 124: Can a V6 kill some trees and baby sea otters? YUP!

Not bad at all....

Why do you hate your tires so much?

:)

nice!

Guess the V6 has enough juice to roast the tires no problem :)

Stick or Auto?

It was the auto. its every bit as awesome as everyone has mentioned. The more I drove it the more I wanted one.... only had this one for the weekend an it was tough dropping it back off. I really wasnt expecting to like the V6 as much as I did!

Awwwwwwwwwwwesome man, very awesome.
I really would like to see some of the performance shops to start doing nice economical performance packages for the V6. D3 was pulling 340hp out of the one in the CTS.

Rentals rule! :D

Heehee...awesome!

Could you imagine what that parking lot looked like after....Nice artwork!

Heres the view from my office :) you can really see the peg leg pretty bad for the first two loops and then it finally started getting them both equally.

That shot at around 17-18 seconds left where the front of the car comes blasting out of the huge cloud of smoke is sweet!

I agree 100% !!! That video should be on the Chevy site! (coughing and giggling included)

cute...but I wonder....would you treat your own personnal car this way....
If this is a rental then I know I never want to buy a rental ever ....I would not do this to my own SS and dont think its right to do it to a car that is owned by someone else (a business trying to make a living) and someday....somebody is gonna fall in love with that car...and you will have abused the crap out of it....Chevy...dont put this on your website and condone this immaturity...If you do this with your test mules to test durability...all the power and the right thing to do but not a private car owned by someone else but yourself...

My opinion on this is that cars are meant and built to be driven. As long as the car was appropriately broken in...I dont see any problem with giving it a little bit of hell.

if I showed that video to a potential resale owner...how do you think he would see it....

Actually yes its EXACTLY how I treat my cars :D http://videos.streetfire.net/video/91-Camaro-wasting-some_110880.htm

About all that got abused was the tires and brakes, I supose you could say the diff took some abuse but seriously if doing that destroyed the car and broke it then who the **** would want to own one.... YOU need to step off your high horse there buddy. Tell me how doing a couple doughnuts is harder on a car than pushing it to its limits on the nurburgring?!

No high horses....been in the car biz for 22 yrs and seen lots of car abuse but what was done to that car is way more abusive than the average owner who buys a pre owned car wants. you abuse the diff, the driveline, the transmission for sure, tires are smoked, brakes are pushed over normal driving....of course they test cars HARD AS HELL at the tracks around the world...but guess what...those cars then end up in the crusher nnot some poor SOBs hands who has gone out and taken a 6 yr loan for a car that `suddenly`has a transmission failure cause you thought it was funny to abuse the heck out of his future car....No high horses bud...just a little common sense with someone elses property. Just cause you cant see the abuse does not mean you are doing the car any good....and sir you are welcome to treat YOUR cars as you state as abusively as possible...you show no respect for others and their stuff.

So taking cars to the strip or autoX is a big no no then huh? so basicly what your saying is you need to where kid gloves when you drive, never "push" a car in the twisties, always shift at 2K rpms and only use it to get from point A to point B all the while driving as slow as possible since you might ABUSE something... give me a break. You abuse your car more in stop and go traffic than doing a couple burnouts.... and I said CAR not tires since those are wearable items anyway.... I think you need to get out of the car business if you think thats abuse... Abuse is ppl who slam it into reverse while moving or driving 55mph over speed bumps....

BLAAA I dont even know why im talking about this to you... your odviously to old to remember how much fun you can have in a car... keep driving like a grampa while I keep enjoying the hell out of cars :)

this has nothing to do with age, mine or yours....has lots to do with knowledge and maturity. When you rent an item from a company it is not meant to be driven at Laguna Seca. plain and simple. All businesses rent cars with the expectation that you drive the car reasonably and bring it back in reasonable condition. That is not what you did. I get back to the single biggest point I am trying to make and you are unable to comprehend ....IF you saw the video you so proudly display on our website of this car before you were going to sign the dotted line on buying this car at a pre owned lot in your town....would you buy it....doubt it ...we live in the real world and abusing cars has consequences. one day it will bite you in the ass. Nuff said.

Which I did, just a little less tire on the back ;)
