Yeah still getting used to it that's for sure.
Only weird finicky thing is downshifting to gear 2 on this 8-speed automatic. I can't use gear 2 to break, only to accelerate. When I switch to gear 2 if I'm slowing down it'll jerk the car (only if I'm not already in gear 2, otherwise if I stay in gear 2 I can use it to break).
I am not into racing. If I were, I'd have saved my pennies and looked to the 1SS v8 Camaro, and done aftermarket work to it. I'm not into racing at all though.
Granted, a 5.1 second 0-60 is nothing to scoff at: 335HP with 284 lb-ft torque (and a fairly even torque curve across the rpm range)... that's pretty good. The torque isn't 1:1 with hp like some more expensive v6 engines, but considering what I paid, it's a ton of fun.
Wish my backseats were usable for adults though. Shame on Chevy, they could've added 4 inches of headroom easily without compromising aesthetics, that's the big issue. Sure if the backseats can't seat someone 6 feet tall and over, whatever, but 5'11" and down should be accomodated as a minimum.
yea fursure, im trying to get my hands on a 3s gte + alteza trans + ae86 dif and a custom driveshaft for my miata atm. might be overpowered but it would be fun to have a 2000lb car with nearly 300whp. i dont think i would even need to build into the motor with it.
