That will work. More details needed.

Nice. Drivetrain ??? Be diligent. Ive heard red cars attract the police.

Nice! Weekend fun indeed!

Did you check the temperature control? Broken blend doors are a common issue on those.

This is what I tell anyone looking to buy a 5th gen. It's a nightmare to replace the correct way. I still have the original in my 2010 SS with 116k but I know it's going to fail eventually.

Hard to believe it's already 15 years old. Still looks brand new to me.

Manual or Automatic?

Nice wheels enjoy

How long will you keep it?

Auto. Knee replacement last fall and living in Minneapolis won't allow a manual right now.

How long will you keep it?

2 or 3 years. Then will consolidate life, prior to retirement.

2 things I need to do:

a. Factory exhaust is junk. I might as well be driving a LeSabre. Probably getting a Borla Touring replacement.
b. Will probably get a tune, to optimize transmission, fuel trim, etc. Couple of good shops in Minneapolis.

Everything seems to be fine. I had the A/C on today, as it hit 83..

You know what sucks about owning a sports car? I've had a V6 Accord ride my rear end on Friday. Today, some clapped out Ford Fusion. Leave me alone!

I almost bought a 2015 SS 1LE a few years ago- a six speed with no hole in the roof. A very competent car to use as both a DD and a track rat.

Have fun! (And check the rearview mirror).

Might as well go aftermarket if you need to change the gaskets. Tune that baby! Just give a heads up to the next buyer so they can fix any issues that arise.

I had to change them on my 05 Cadillac STS when I had it.. First step in the service manual was to remove the rear seat, second was to remove the front seats and center console... Whole dash and the aluminum carrier had to be moved back to get to a couple of them. That car was a mantinence nightmare in general.

Handsome car, love the wheels, and the decent profile tires.
