Nice, I had a blast last year until they kicked me out for driving a Jetta too fast.

• No children under 40 lbs. are allowed in the H2

Hmm. I guess those things are death traps.

Just got back from this event today...........overall great show. You get one run in your choice of a auto C6, manual C6, or manual CTS-V, unlimited runs in a SSR or GTO if you don't mind waiting in line.

I went today. It was fun. They moved the GTO to the performance course, so you have to choose that as your ONE and only performance drive. I took the C6. That car was awesome, but the course offered little grip and was very short. Only had one turn, but at least it was a wide sweeper where you could hang the back out.

Also drove the Vibe GT. I liked it, pretty peppy engine.

And I got kicked out for getting the ION Redline sideways.
POS with a supercharger.

They even made the police take our wristbands (They took Jason's too, even though I was driving ???) . Was kind of an unnecessary production.

Fun overall, same crappy food as last year. Disappointed that they took away the unlimited GTO runs. I liked that car a lot after last years drive and was looking forward to driving it again.

I only got a warning for kicking the backend out on the STS Caddy, traction control button was in the glovebox on that one I think

Free.........

Saab 9-2x - Car was an auto and extremely laggy but I really like the mild dressup they did to the interior. Car seemed to handle very well.
From the little I've driven a WRX, the 9-2x felt like it had slighty less bodyroll than the WRX.

Quadrasteer GM trucks - still partial to the Titan on the fullsize truck lineup put the turning radius on those with the quadrasteer was amazing.

CTS/STS - Very nice IMO with decent power although the G35 sedan was for some reason missing from this comparo


C6 - Course didn't let you get a great feel for the car but around the one turn they gave you it felt like a slot car with near zero roll or flex. Pedal effort on the clutch was surprising....required barely more pressure than the clutch on my Protege5.
