Well I just got back from the chevy dealership. I test drove a silver 2006 SS/SC with the black and red leather seats, side air bags, xm ect. It did not have the lsd. I was not impressed to much at all. Power gets there nice but doesn't feel as strong as I thought it would. I know I would lose to it in a drag race but I don't feel that the top end power was much better than mine. Bottem end is nice, builds to full boost pretty quick. Interior was just nasty other than the seats. I like the SRT-4 much better and I don't think the SS/SC is worth the money. Anyone else feel this way that has driven one?

yeah i'd say the power is smooth and numb like the SRT-4. As much as i love mine....i sometimes swear it accelerates slower than my Z24. I know it's not. I think the power is delivered so smooth you don't realize it's moving that quick. I was satisfied enough to buy one, but think there is serious room for improvment

blame the DRIVE BY WIRE system
that is why it has no butt dyno feeling
Sp it is quicker than it feels?

yes , most of the guys here in phx run mid to high 14's , and some are still in the 15's trying to learn how to drive them
the DBW system is very odd to drive , let alone race
also the dealers usually put 87 octane in them when they need 91, which cuts the power down , also it take a couple thousand miles for the eco's to break in nicely
some of the ion redlines with mods have been running low 14's
Hmm to bad I am like 3g's upside down on my car. I don't want $500+ payments and my insurance will go up $600 every 6 months.

Blame it on the 3000lbs curb weight.

Just about everything he said is true.. I test drove an 05 redline, and noticed the same thing.. It only had 200km's on it in total.. I asked the dealer what kind of gas is in the tank. He said all cars come shipped with 87 octane. So those 2 things there were probably why it felt a little sluggish..
