Great job GM. You caked your pants for the whole world to see.

Thanks for protecting the Z06 heritage by making a heavy, Supercharged Car, that has constant track issues.

But on the brightside the Targa top is now removable!

If no one is getting demoted or sent back down to the Cruze team things won't get better. The press car fleet managers fail at leading and understanding how important these magazines are.

This gas excuse is hilarious. I waited like a kid on Christmas for this video, and this is what we get?

Wow, hopefully this will help push GM to actually do something and stop ignoring the very obvious over heating issues these cars have.

Car wasn't overheating, they were never making enough power to overheat. The car wasn't creating any boost

watching that vid just makes you want to cry.

This is the SECOND time someone from GM sent a car out for a public test TOTALLY UNPREPARED!!

Shame on them.
