A lot of you guys might change your thought on them if you drive one. It’s honestly really impressive. Power, comfort, visability. ride…

It doesn’t feel like a big car (cough, Challenger). It has great visibility, something which I thought would be terrible before driving one.

I dont know if I agree with the visibility part, it isnt the best lets just put it that way, but yeah your 100% right on it not feeling like a big car, I have almost 800 miles on mine and love it

I thought it would be terrible. I adjusted the mirrors and got comfortable and it was just like driving my wife’s Malibu. I ws worried about the blind spot on the pass side, but the mirrors, even though they see small, you get a lot of coverage area.

But it in no way felt like a big car. It’s a different feel than my 69 Camaro with visibility since the roofline of my car is different, but it doesn’t feel like a 59 Caddy (or 2009 Challenger) 🙂

It’s worth a ride if you get the chance.

I would encourage anyone to look one over in person, its simply a beautiful piece of automotive engineering and the fit and finish is something simply not found in a GM product

i love the new camaro! i’ve looked at a few of them and sat in one, i haven’t gotten a chance to drive one, but if i had the means to buy one i definitely would, even if it was just a v6 model. i have no complaints with 300hp.

I believe a majority of them still do. But they are putting them on the back side of the caliper and also painting them black instead of silver.

I like the look, but it really annoys me that the back windows don’t go down.
