First drive

Post by No Moa »

After months of dealing with the damage by the selling dealer (nothing came of it, I got stuck with the bill) and installing all my FD equipment, last night was the maiden voyage. Put about 30 miles on in the dark.
Car is quick. Quicker than my 06 CTS-V was. I was pretty impressed. I have a vibration at 60 and ^. I'm going to have the wheels balanced and another alignment at some point.
Its to quiet, needs exhaust mods.
Seat is actually comfortable. I'm a big guy, well round guy, so I figured it would be crappy comfort. LOTS of leg room which I like a lot.
I like the turning radius.
Ride is smooth for a police car.
blind spot is a little tough for me. But i'll get used to it.
my tint job sucks, badly.
the lund arm rest isn't all that comfortable.
Tires work good in the snow, I was able to make It up the drive, no issue.
Radio is nice, but need some rear speakers.

I'll be doing exhaust, and a 3:45 Camaro rea, CIA, in the future, And a retint. lol.
