Wow....less than 1700 lbs and starting at 270HP! 26MPG isn't bad.

Too bad the looks are downright creepy....

Wow. 270hp out of the 3.5? I didn't know they could that easily be that hopped up with n/a power. That would have been a great mid level camaro motor!

It's tough to get good swirl in a pent-roof 4-valve chamber, and squish is difficult to acheive as well. But, they made the Quad 4 and the Northstart work, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

I got a job as a credit analyst with Banknorth, one of the largest banks in the Northeast. Commercial lending...a little different than car sales! I call it my first "real" job...selling cars, bidding at the GM sales, doing advertising, ordering new units...for me, that was fun. I worked for a small, family owned dealer the past 3 years (started when I was only 20), and they let me do just about everything in those 3 years. I will miss it. A lot. I have the feeling my GM days are not done though...but for now, I need a resume builder, and I'd like to think I'd be putting my Econ degree and my MBA to good use for a change

Watching Olds die has been sad, but moving 35 Firebirds last year was amazing. If I never do work at a dealer again, at least I can say my experience and memories were amazing. I sold 166 new and used cars last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it...one advantage to a small family dealer is there is little, if any competition for ups! I'm not leaving because I'm tired of it, but just feel like I need experience somewhere else for a little while. I'd like to think GM has not heard the last of me though...I wanna work for those guys...just a little
