GM Test Drive @ Alameda

[Wolf]

Went to the GM test drive event in Alameda a couple weeks ago. Pretty cool, you get to test drive all the GM cars and trucks on coned off courses. Heading out in the Z06 (pipe photoshopped in :hs: and pylon photoshopped out) It even matches my Jeep's color. :rolleyes:

The clutch in that thing is like a fucking on/off switch. Stalled it leaving the parking spot, but got to skirt em in 2nd on the track. (they had an escort ride with everyone in the Vettes, SSR, and H2s) :angel:

Waiting for my turn:

Silverado SS. Wasn't too impressed with it. Seemed like just another Silverado. Acceleration wasn't extrordinary.

Also drove the H2. REALLY cramped inside. They had a dirt obstacle course for the H2s. I kept thinking how much I wanted to take the Z06 on it. :doh5:

GM really missed with the Silverado SS... a SRT-10 Ram and lighting are much better buys. The SS's only saying grace is its AWD system, but the thing is a pig, it really needs to have forced induction to get decent results aka the Syclone/typhoon (one of the best street sleepers ever).

The SS concept was better than the finished product... I'm not a fan of the new "pissed off" front ends.

I went as well. A friend of mine managed to depart the course COMPLETELY in a GTO. Funny stuff. It was fun to beat on the Z06.
