Thanks guys!
It's definitely fast, but it's very controllable. If you're driving normally, you never know the supercharger is there, but when you get on it, it moves! Until you're at about 2500-3000 rpm, the supercharger is silent, then once it gets past there you hear the whine, which I think sounds cool. The hard part is keeping your foot out of it. I filled up the tank today and reset the trip computer, and so far, it shows that I'm getting like 17.6 mpg, all in the city, with a few WOT's. I took a few friends out tonight to go see Public Enemies and I had a bit of a stoplight drag with an '04+ GTP and we stayed neck and neck, and hers makes more power than mine does (260 v. 240).
I'll post more of a test drive review later. I'm still new with it.
Anyways, I'll be bringing it to the Chicago meet. I wanna see what she'll do at the track. I bet somewhere between 14.9 and 15.2, that's what all of the magazines seem to track it as. I have heard that the transmissions will become a problem if you beat on it, especially if you're doing burnouts or if you turned the boost up (I do wanna do a pulley swap though....), but that's why I bought the extended warranty! I have the inspection records from the dealership, they spent $1600 on reconditioning it and making it ready for the lot, which included a full inspection, oil change, tire rotation, full detail, new pads and rotors front and rear and a new HVAC control module (the old one burned out).
And it's got a clean carfax (I'm the 3rd owner, it originally came out of Georgia to a buyer in North Carolina and owned until 2008, then it was bought by someone up here, who had it for 11 months, then traded it in and I picked it up.) It even has three sets of keys and the original window sticker (MSRP was $27,xxx).
Overall I'm extremely happy with it. It's a very nice *REGULAR-BLUE-COLLARED-LUXURY-CAR*. No more expensive specialty parts, no more hard to find Mercedes specialists, no more diagnostic nightmares. Everything is normal GM parts bin stuff, and that makes me feel so much better than an expensive European car. It's funny, I can still feel my dad's '97 Lumina in this car in some small ways, like the way the doors sound when they shut, etc etc. Little details like that. But that's to be expected considering they're both W-Bodies.
I'll have more pics and stuff up tomorrow. I'm off to bed now. Today was a long day.
