If i had alot of money find a way to make it rwd with a six speed. then if that actually happened i would s/c it

I personally just like superchargers more than turbos for some reason i dont know why.

Probably won't keep mine...waste of $$ to me. In this day & age of everyone having a cell phone I don't see the need for it. There are debates over the fact that in an accident Onstar still works to alert the police, fire, rescue etc. Whether this is true I don't know.

I like the fact that if I am having troubles with the car
Hey push the blue button
They will troubleshoot as you are going down the road.
Plus they record the info on there end as well that you had a problem with the car.
So its not just for safety......

Troubleshoot going down the road? Like they are able to fix it? What's the use of having someone troubleshoot it going down the road? It's not like they can repair it for you.

Look I think it's great you like and that works for you, I think it's a waste of $$$ but I'm the guy who likes OEM GM parts too. Enough said!

Troubleshooting won't save you a trip to the dealer or autozone either....it's simply "Troubleshooting" and in the hopes they can find the problem. They can only find the problem if a code is set as well. If all the sensors are in "range" of what's acceptable then Onstar won't find crap.
