Got the car around Christmas 2013 and since then have been to and driven on Santa Pod dragstrip, Rockingham and Silverstone race circuits and even made the trip to Motorsport Mecca, the Nürburgring.
However it has not been without issues. Biggest of which were the wastegate failing in the turbo (no repair parts were available) so needed to get a new turbo, coil pack failing and it needing a SECOND timing chain due to the tensioner snapping (first was due to a recall). This is not even half of what has been replaced.
Car will be 9 years old this year and has just clicked over 90k miles. |

| I really like these. Pity Pontiac went the way of Oldsmobile, SAAB and so many others. |

| Oh sure. It was a mash of parts of the original and a spy thriller but I still found it an entertaining way to pass two hours and would rather give my ticket money to Pixar than to the hacks who made the fifth Final Destination. |

| I enjoyed it. I was constantly scanning the screen, looking for little details and I got the impression that Pixar made the film they wanted to make and not what Disney asked them to. |

| It's alright but it was dated before it was even released. If you'd shown that car in 1995 when curves were all the rage then it might have stood a chance. |
