Default Back in the Fold

After a four year hiatus, I am the proud owner of a '13 GS courtesy of Kerbeck.

I have vivid memories of my '07 w/Z51 and my first impressions are the GS is an even stiffer ride - not suprising I guess. Still babying it for a few more months but I think the base GS could benefit from a good tune to liven up the throttle response... Overall driveability is not as smooth as my '07 but I am smiling large!

Congrats on your purchase.
If the ride is too stiff , replace the run-flats with non-run flats. That will help the ride

Yes it is. As I was doing the first claybar and waxing session last Sunday, I really noticed the blue metal flake in it.
