the only difference between my normal driving ('98 BMW 540i) and when i'm thinking of my new camaro is that i try to shift...but sadly my BMW is an autotragic

I'm not driving any faster than normal, I always drive it like I stole it.

lol Well, mine is pretty fast. I've had it up to 260 Kph (160 mph) a few times, and let me tell you, its no slouch!

but it is still FWD

My "normal car" couldn't ever go fast enough to kill me.

z28collection · 10-16-2008, 10:13 PM

i drive fast all the time every time!

Superman09 · 10-16-2008, 10:42 PM

I was driving alittle faster, and like Chewy wishing I had a standard. Then all my harder driving blew my intake gasket

so now I drive slow again

I suggest you guys invest in a Valentine One if you don't have one already. With 422 horses you will be doing 90 and it will feel like 60. Hopefully the Camaro will have an "OverSpeed" chime that will sound if you reach your predesignated speed.

Zieke · 10-17-2008, 01:13 AM

well, my everyday car is a 78 camaro.
im driving it fast for two reasons.
1. i wish i was getting a new SS camaro. gotta wait :(
2. I've only got 10 days left with her

(USN Boot camp)

I already drive my 4th Gen like that!

Congoman775 · 10-17-2008, 01:59 AM

ha ...

Maybe. Im usually a pretty conservative driver... but recently i have been 'opening up' more on the road.

Looking forward to things to come

Evotion · 10-17-2008, 02:47 AM

Simple answer: Nope

It's all the stupid boost gauges fault...

rocknrollcali87 · 10-17-2008, 05:16 AM

I've sat in the 69 and just thought about how different it'd be doing 80 in the new Camaro because it sure as hell scary in the 69. I bet you wouldn't even feel yourself going that fast in the new Camaro, not even at 120.

SilverTurtle · 10-17-2008, 07:11 AM

when I bite into a York peppermint patty...

oh, wait, we're talking about daily drivers....

when I push the gas pedal in my "grocery getter"...

I realize that my C5 FRC is probably just about as fast as a 5th gen Camaro will be

thank God for radar detectors

TomServo · 10-17-2008, 07:40 AM

My "Other Car" is a 2006 Corvette which is my daily driver until my Camaro get's here. I save any aggressive driving for the track.
