[align=center]I think the MotorWeek Times on both SS's are high [/align][align=center]and are about one second lower on other test sites.[/align][align=center]I think they need better drivers , but I also [/align][align=center]understand that their Test Cars are brand new[/align][align=center]and not broke it...From other test sites & reviews of[/align][align=center]drag times of both of the SS's tested, there[/align][align=center]is about one second less/lower in 0-60 times &[/align][align=center]1/4 mile times. I would love to be[/align][align=center]a test pilot for new vehicles : )[/align][align=center]What did you think ?[/align][align=center]- Post it -[/align][align=center]Thanks[/align]

I actually test drove a malibu maxx SS, it scoots. But the monte with the 3.9 still feels stronger i dunno why maybe i just like them better. Great video Space.

Yeah, I thought 0-60 in 7.5 seconds seemed a little sluggish.

GP `Dave, One of my Beach Bum friend has an uncle that has a Malibu Max SS
and his time at
[align=center]
Drag Times[/align][align=center]1/4 Mile ET:
14.68
1/4 Mile MPH:
92.520
Car Make:
Chevrolet
Car Model:
MAX SS
Car Type:
3.9 SS[/align][align=center]Car Year:
2006[/align][align=center]Driver: [/align][align=center]Michael Dodd[/align][align=center]I think MotorWeek has brand new cars that the engine isn't[/align][align=center]broken in & they most likely ran the AC & didn't turn `off the TC[/align][align=center]and maybe they just got a bad one. I will check for a road test[/align][align=center]report from other sources.[/align][align=center]I think the Driver Skill is way important in Rac'in.[/align][align=center]Two different drivers, two different times : )[/align][align=center]Peace[/align]
