Im at a stop light and a kid in a black SS (notice all 16 year olds get one of these on their Birthday in MI) pulls up into the right lane which ends shortly after the light. I looked over and it looked like he had just tire shined his winter tires (155’s maybe) on steelies as he inched closer to the light. The light turned, I gassed it, his reaction time was humorous. He tired to chase (tires chirping), but he couldn’t catch the 3 engine powar. Nothing like winter ride killing. ---

Total axle torque at launch (that is, after torque multiplication through gearing) is 3500 lb.-ft. 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds [http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section\_id=6&article\_id=1869](http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=6&article_id=1869) I am not a tree hugger but when you strap two additional electric engines (one to each axle) as power adders it definitly adds some fun to the drive experience. Side note: handling and braking are disappointing ---

after checking online the 0-60 on an SS is 6.1 so the kid must have sucked at driving or given up after spinning ---
