Nuff said.

One nice touch is an LED light pipe that runs around the dash to uplift the evening-cruise mood.
Seems they got to test out a fully working ABL in theirs..Too bad we are not going to be so lucky..

I am extremely disappointed with the 1/4 mile numbers in all of these reviews.

ya but look at the MPH in them.. that's a high 12's capable car.
I just compare it to the numbers they get with the Mustang and Challenger.. the Camaro IS faster than both..so if challengers/mustangs are pulling better times off than what the magazines are posting, so will the Camaro.

they even have the test cars being misleading with the ABL. Uf you look at all the other rad tests, they have been given cars with cloth panels and such.
I dont understand why they havnt given all production intent cars. Some are production intent, like the 1SS and so, but others are still missing key parts |

Does AutomobileMag Know something we don't?
So I was reading AutomobileMag's review of the SS and found that they mentioned ambient lighting going the width of entire dashboard...
