cuda took me for a ride and we went to uni. no one was there 
well I drove chris's TC.
here is my impressions.
Its very close to my stock ms3, but the SS pulls hard until redline. (stock vs stock)
the interior does feel cheap, the shift knob and hand brake for sure.
The mesh on the seat (passenger side) rubbed my arm and it sorta hurt...
I hate not having a arm rest, HID's, auto dimming rear view mirror, nice shift knob.
Other than that the car handles well, steering wheel felt nice but too many buttons on it. The power was good, but feels held back like it wants to get some parts and unleash hell Its hard to say what feels faster but my ms3 with intake felt faster than a stock ss. Which it probably is power vs power it would be higher. But the SS gearing is NUTS, you dont have to shift out of 2nd till like 60 or higher hahha my ms3 was like 30. 2010 ms3 has new gearing.
I am still excited for the SS, the little things to sorta bug me since I had everything loaded even auto sensing windshield wipers. The thing that still makes me wonder is, how can it be priced the same as a ms3 but not even have 1/2 the options the ms3 had and they are both a similar power/handling. hopefully it helps in negotiations. I still want the SS because of its reliability and coupeness. Also having GMPP release a stage kit and keep warranty will be fantastic. Over all its a great powertrain, good power, good handling, but I think they over charge.

The mazda just has better gearing which is why it feels a little faster. FYI
Most of you people forget its not all about how much power you make but where and when it is. Of course there are other factors as well.

I have no idea about the drive ratio things, but the 2010 ms3 has all new gearing making 1-5 taller. Its not because of gearing that its faster because I have to shift a twice for their once. The ms3 just feels like it pulled harder. Both cars are damn close stock vs stock, cuz when I put my ms3 to stock for a dealer visit it felt hella neutered. The SS's turbo is also twin scroll and the SS keeps power to redline where the ms3 loses it right before 6k. the ms3 felt like it had more torq down low (which is true) but like I said stock vs stock I bet they are fairly close.
