It's why I bought one. Even with the auto I love it. After a few thousand miles the 10 speed learns and calibrates itself and becomes better, and I've gotten a 3.2second 0-60mph by launching from 2nd gear in manual mode and immediately switching back to auto mode once I got rolling. It's very very very fast for a 4,000lb sedan

I mean this car is an ENTIRELY new vehicle. Think of how much weight shifted to the rear with the addition of that emblem. Jack, I think you may need to call GM and convert this into a long term loaner so you can truly evaluate the cosmic level changes of the blackwing logo on the rear deck lid. Oh and don't forget to let them know that you'll need another LTL for the mid cycle refresh. We understand that this would be grueling testing but it is all in the name of science.
