So I came to Charleston, WV for a friends wedding and had a rental car booked. Just the basics econobox POS. Long story short, the rental company was not busy and because the ID I gave the guy was my military ID and I guess he was a big military supporter, he upgraded me for free...to a ****ing Camaro SS! Black with an auto (obviously...rental).
So I've been driving it since Friday morning and I have to admit....
This car is ****ING PHENOMENAL. I love almost everything about it. The exhaust note is perfection. Exactly what you want in a daily driven pony car. Quiet until you want it to stop being quiet...and then it doesn't scream. Bitches scream. The Camaro ROARS. And when it roars, my dick grows another 12 inches as the thought enters my mind that nothing on earth is mightier than I am at this exact moment.
This car will absolutely whip my GT's ass in every aspect of performance. No question. I don't even need to list the details. It's just a better performing car. Period.
I don't like the dash. It looks okay but it's still cheap plastic. The whole dash kind of looks like a giant video game controller. The AC vents behind the shifter are retarded and made more retarded by the fact that you turn them to control temp and fan speed. Mustang interior is a lot nicer. I do absolutely love the Camaro steering wheel and it makes me want to swap mine out for a GT350 wheel. The seats are good. I'd say they're no better or worse than the mustang.
I still don't think this car looks as good as mine but I do love looking at the curvature of the hood from behind the windshield as I'm driving. It looks cool.
The suspension is fantastic and I have to make a conscious effort the break the tires lose around turns (with traction and stability control ON of course). Pretty much have to intentionally drive like an idiot.
I've gotten used to the visibility. At first it doesn't seem like it's improved over the previous Camaro, which I could never get used to. But you know...they did improve it. Because after three days I'm just as comfortable as in my GT.
So my verdict is, not including price, this is all-in-all a better performance car than my GT. That being said, if I am including price, the GT is still the better value.
THAT being said...I'm in love with this Camaro and I have new-found respect for it. It's purely awesome.
