Give us a picture of that engine so we can see the "Carbon Fiber" housing on that 3.8 X-51 engine!

Looks great, can't wait to read your "first impressions"!!! Capture a sound file if you can of that car running!

Congrats!!!!

Thanks, John. You know I can't wait to stick my nose in the engine compartment. And I'll have my camera. I'm picking her up at 12:30.....two very long hours from now.

The exhaust, btw, is indicitive of PSE and not X51. Now the engine bay carbon fiber.... that is quite another story.

Oh, and don’t forget to let us know if there is a "3rd" radiator with that X-51 package!

Just re-read your post and picture... The first time I read it was sans Starbucks

Question, how hard is it going to be to clean the radiators of bugs with them all exposed like that?

Exclamation

Ok, i don't want to totally hijack the thread, so I am only going to post a link to some pictures.

I FINALLY after 3 years of trying managed to photograph what Cobalt paint REALLY looks like. You are gonna have fun with your new car! Pictures usually grab that nice smooth blue color that looks perfect on a Porsche...

Well here is what happens when you turn your head slightly to a Cobalt car!!!!!

Congrats on your soon-to-be delivery! That will be a gorgeous machine both from the outside and under the engine cover! Can't wait for pics and a review.

Talking Ready to pick up.

Well, here she is still in the showroom.





Here I am ready to take a seat!



I sit down to see that she only has 7 miles on the Odometer!



And here are the buttons you see if you get PSE without Sport Chrono.

Talking Finally out in the sun.







And here's a picture of my Salesman, Bob Fasce, with the Blue Zoomer . Bob could not have been more pleasant to deal with throughout the whole process. He also surprised me with a super classy matt-stainless Porsche license plate frame and a set of clear side-markers. LOL, thank goodness I won't have to listen to you guys complaining about the amber side markers. The whole Bert Smith staff proved to be very knowledgable about these cars.

Thanks Bob!
