So are any of these out yet? Searched youtube and found nothing other than New York car show.

Any drivers experiences will be mostly welcomed too

Are you looking from something from like Car and Driver, or Joe Schmo Camaro5 member?

Haven't seen anything from any car publications.

Couple dealers have gotten them in. Maureen from Rodgers posted that they got some. Haven't heard much of a member going and testing driving one though. They aren't around me unfortunately :(

Here's my 2 cents...I just picked up a 2014 SS yesterday. I had both a 2011 SS convertible and a 2012 SS coupe as rental cars in the past, and I really don't notice any difference in driving dynamics. To be fair, I haven't really pushed it yet as it's still pretty new, but it feels like a Camaro and it's a blast to drive. The color HUD is pretty nice, it seems to be a tiny bit brighter (and it has a G-force meter, which was previously on just the ZL1, I believe). The color DIC is also very clear and easy to read.

Most are from the dealer lot, since I got back pretty late last night. Weather's been pretty lame here the past week or so, once it's sunny out I'll be taking a bunch of pics:

Pictures look good to me

I don't think there were any major differences between the 2013 and the 2014, I'm not sure why there would be any test drive reviews? This is just a mid cycle refresh, not a brand new car?

vroomapunk · 08-09-2013, 12:15 PM

no need for test drive reviews. Same car as the 2013. Only difference between it and 2012's is the electric steering.
And other than the steering wheel, nothing functional changed from the 2010-2011, besides the various suspension changes that took place in 2012.

I doubt you will see any 2014 reviews other than the plethora of future Z/28 stuff. Hell, they barely got any attention when the suspension changed to FE4 in 2012.

So the dealer put on thr front plate frame?

I noticed that as well! Do you need a front plate in NJ?
I would have them remove and fix if was not mandatory!

Just my .02

I'm curious, as many of us are discussing the hex vents here - on that hood when you wash the car, what path does the water drain take?

love the color...
