College student test drives V6 Camaro RS Auto - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Greetings everyone! This is my first post

I am college student here at the University of North Dakota for commercial aviation and I have an addiction for the 2010 Camaro.

To say the least, this website has been feeding the addiction

. So, as soon as I found out that the local GM Rydell dealership received their first Camaro, I was quite eager to see it in person. Fortunately, the salesman was very enthusiastic about letting me test drive the vehicle, maybe because he liked the opportunity to ride in the car every chance he got...I don't blame him

The first time I laid eyes on it I was mesmerized and in

As soon as I entered the car, I felt a sense of security (car wraps around you) and noticed the excellent workmanship. However, the windshield seems small and there are nasty blind spots in the back...but did I really care? No. Eventually we turned onto a long stretch of road with no one else on it...then the salesman told me to give it some gas...well, with the Camaro, I define "some" as flooring the pedal...so I did!

and I was pushed back into the seat

V6? Damn. Being a starving college student, I'm going to work very, very hard to hopefully get a Camaro of my own within the next few years.

P.S. I remembered to take a picture of the VIN

I"m sure the salesman are allowing almost anyone right now take a test drive so they can have a chance to take the car out.

Nice! Thanks for the cool review, always good to hear about the V6's power. Hope your Camaro fund comes together in a timely manner!

Good pic of the back of the seat, the latch. I read that this was such a pain in the a** to use.

When I test drove one a couple weeks ago, both my kids came along. Instinctively reached back and pulled it up and the kids hopped back there no problem. I can't recall what the big fuss was about it.
