BigAls87Z28 07-23-2010 04:48 PM

I love the sticker on the dash. No explanation there. Im glad they will offer an auto, should really expand sales.

r0nin89 07-23-2010 04:55 PM

Still dont understand why z28>SS as far as performance to nameplates goes.

****in sweet either way though.

BigAls87Z28 07-23-2010 05:03 PM

Z28 always was better.
SLP ****ed that up. Z28 was the race car, SS was the high end luxury trim. Thats the end of that convo.

Yeah, I totally agree with the auto comment....it will definitely appeal to a broader spectrum of buyers. Plus, GM obviously had to beef up that A6 trans so maybe some of that knowledge can trickle down to the other A6's.

T69SS 07-23-2010 11:28 PM

Aside from the quad exhaust, it really doesnt do much for me. Maybe some standard photos will change that

only in the 4th gen but even then its just a wheel and hood package.

BigAls87Z28 07-23-2010 11:48 PM

The front facia has some major enhancements you can make out along with some other stuff
1) Fog lights are raised and there are brake cooling ducts under them.
2) much larger lower grill opening for enhanced cooling to the rad/intercooler
3) larger front brake rotors and calipers
4) quad exhaust

This is a powertrain mule. 2012 will also be getting a few more visual enhancements along with a new interior. And a convertable model.
the 6L80E is pretty strong, same one in the CTS-V auto.

LS1ow 07-24-2010 12:55 AM

bumper looks real close to the transformers one.

And 20 more hp, and upgraded suspension, and rear wing.


IMO, hopefully they've tackled the weight issue in this one, otherwise its pointless.

We will be lucky if it comes in at the same weight as the SS.
