Glad you like it! To be honest I really wasn't as impressed with the power the SS had when I test drove it in '03... but I knew it had potential. I ended up getting one a year later and came to find out that a basic mail order tune released it from that sluggish attitude so I was a little happier. Almost $10k later it moves ok, i guess

Keep modding man, it only gets better!
