+1. A little heat will go along ways with those tires.

I've still got "permagrin" plastered across my face
as I type this - OMG what a car!!! I'm not very savy when it comes to describing performance and handling, but here's what I can tell you. When I came off the entrance ramp and hit 3 digits of speed faster than I could imagine and felt like there was soooo much more...... well, that's when "ultragrin" set in. There was very little sense that I was driving that fast except for the very very slow cars that were also on the freeway Those great big fat sticky tires sure make it feel nice and stable. I'm sure there's lots of other engineering marvels that made it feel that way. I'll also say I think I'm going to be very happy that I bought the Auto Trans. The manual trans may have gotten me into alot of trouble This car is spectacular!! Given the opportunity to drive one, do so, you certainly won't be disappointed. Now I've got to find the time for my co-workers and Camaro club members to take her for a spin --- supervised of course |

That doesn't sound too bad considering you've been pedal to the floor the whole time!

I wish I had taken my camera out and snapped a shot of her face. That grin went from ear to ear and beyond. All she could do was to keep yelling at everybody to 'GET OUT OF MY WAY' |
