The car is not for all, you have to really want a sports car and deal with all that come with it, I've been driving for 30 + years and it took me some getting use to, and I've driven a very wide variety of vehicles.
Some people may have ordered this car early and once they took delivery realized it wasn't for them or financially things may have gone south, bottom line is...drive one and decide for yourself if it's for you!!

There have been some minor problems...that have been resolved through GM, but nothing I feel would warrant walking away from the car, it's a first year model...so things will happen.
Yes... I own one, look at my sig I'm not the person to ask for a comparison though, I have never owned a car of this magnitude and certainly can't use my Chevelles as a benchmark, all I can say is it's awesome and am glad I was able to get one, now if the damn weather would let up...maybe I might get to drive it again in a month or so.

I have an SS and it has launch control. Got my car late August after ordering in May so have not played around much with it.
