All: Thanks for the congrats, I've enjoyed every minute in the car. It's very toss-able. You can flick it around with the tiniest movement of the steering wheel.
As far the transmission is concerned: I know that people who have the auto like them, but honestly -- GM should not have applied the SS badge to an automatic model with that many drawbacks. It needs to have a manumatic at the very least, no hp compromises, and ideally at least 5 gears. The fact that GM doesn't think it can take the stock power of the powerplant is a little concerning. It definitely is not an SS model you can feel comfortable hot rodding without some major transmission work.
