How are these cars holding up with high miles? Lots of people had great luck on this site with 100K and higher. I have a low mileage car so I can't speak from experience

I would be getting a ss, which transmission is holding up best to high miles? I dont care if i have auto or manual. Still can't answer this question because I don't have experience.

Does the 6.2 require premium gas? Yes

Is anybody out of warranty and needed major repairs? Knock on wood nothing yet. Just my leather ripping but now that is just an excuse for new seats :D

I live in a area that sees snow, obviously i wont be driving the camaro in anykind of accumulated snow but it might see some early and late season flurries, what all season tires have people had experience with? Live in PA for 2 years with a Camaro and the stock tires suck in the snow and can't handle the hills very well. You will need a good set of all weather tires to help, even with the little snow cover. I drove my car into a ditch with just a little dusting (I was trying to go up a hill). :frown:

Still on winter weather, i live where roads are treated with a ridiculous amount of road salt and ice chemicals, has anybody applied any corrosion or rust treatment to the frame and under carriage? Can't help with this one either. I winterize after experiencing my first winter with the car

My last gm was a pontiac g6 with a sunroof, the sunroof leaked like a sumbish, every rain storm i had a lake on the passenger floor, do the camaro sunroofs leak? 3 years an no leaks for me. When I give her a good wash I make sure to give the sunroof seals I good cleaning.

My car will remain stock except for a catback or axel back exhaust so im not worried about any mods. HAHAHAHHAHA!!!! Stick around here more often and that will change :bellyroll:

Has anybody here had a v6 then upgraded to a ss? How much did your car insurance jump? I am a 29 year old male with zero accidents and zero tickets for comparison. There are plenty of people have upgraded, but if you are asking that question now before purchasing don't even think about a V6.

Thanks for your answers, hopefully soon ill be sharing pics of my new car.

How are these cars holding up with high miles? Mine is great. Had it for almost 4 years and approaching 50k miles.

Does the 6.2 require premium gas? Yes. It's typically 93 octane unless you live in one of the high-altitude states that only offer 91.

Is anybody out of warranty and needed major repairs? I essentially voided my warranty over the winter with the powertrain mods. No issues so far <knock on wood>

I live in a area that sees snow, obviously i wont be driving the camaro in anykind of accumulated snow but it might see some early and late season flurries, what all season tires have people had experience with? The right tires make all the difference in the world. I have driven Bee in as much as 4" of snow in my Continental Extreme Contact DWS's. But like all higher HP cars with rear-wheel-drive, you still have to take extra care when dealing with hills.

Still on winter weather, i live where roads are treated with a ridiculous amount of road salt and ice chemicals, has anybody applied any corrosion or rust treatment to the frame and under carriage? Nope, and we have the same salt/mag chloride/sand that everyone seems to use.

My last gm was a pontiac g6 with a sunroof, the sunroof leaked like a sumbish, every rain storm i had a lake on the passenger floor, do the camaro sunroofs leak? Don't have a sunroof, didn't like how low the interior of the roof was with them.

My car will remain stock except for a catback or axel back exhaust so im not worried about any mods. Your loss... :D

How are these cars holding up with high miles? Mine's a 2SS, 2 years old - 46k kilometers - like a fine wine, she gets better with age!

I would be getting a ss, which transmission is holding up best to high miles? I dont care if i have auto or manual. Manual - downtown to the burbs, stop and go - in heels - no problem! (It does get annoying some days tbh when traffic sucks, but that quickly changes once you get moving again!)

Does the 6.2 require premium gas? Yes - one thing I didn't think of when buying was I went from a Mazda 3 - $40-$50 every 2 weeks in gas, to the SS which is $80 every week driving the same distance (500 kms). Its not the premium gas - its the V8.

Is anybody out of warranty and needed major repairs? Still have warranty. I've had my water pump replaced and my rotors turned (warped) - covered under warranty, but no other problems.

I live in a area that sees snow, obviously i wont be driving the camaro in anykind of accumulated snow but it might see some early and late season flurries, what all season tires have people had experience with? Winter tires - Blizzaks and the car is amazing in the snow! Second winter and for the most part, had a blast. There are always days no one should be on the roads, but the right tires make a huge difference - on any vehicle.

Still on winter weather, i live where roads are treated with a ridiculous amount of road salt and ice chemicals, has anybody applied any corrosion or rust treatment to the frame and under carriage? I had extra protection put on the car when I purchased, including rust. No problems.

My last gm was a pontiac g6 with a sunroof, the sunroof leaked like a sumbish, every rain storm i had a lake on the passenger floor, do the camaro sunroofs leak? No comment, don't have one!

My car will remain stock except for a catback or axel back exhaust so im not worried about any mods. Good luck with that!!:bellyroll:

Has anybody here had a v6 then upgraded to a ss? How much did your car insurance jump? I am a 29 year old male with zero accidents and zero tickets for comparison. Straight in the SS. My insurance didn't change from my Mazda 3 to the Camaro - check with your insurance co.
